Hi, My Dad Jim newman known also as whip, or the blacksmith's mate, was on the Arethusa in November 1942 when hit by torpedo. He was awarded the BEM. Sadly Dad died November 2008 I only found this web site after his death and was very proud to hear of his bravery which he never spoke to us about. We have since found photos which may be of interest to you. Is there anyone out there who may remember him. I am trying to arrange for his ashes to be scattered at sea by the Royal Navy as he requested. Vicki Claxton nee Newman vickiclaxtonuk@hotmail.com
My Uncle - Tommy Cummins (AB) was killed on the Arethusa in November 1942 and I would like any information/photos please. My email is billcummins1(spam)ataoldotcom. Just take out the spam and put the dot in. Photos would be great if scanned in large file size.
