New Remembrance Article — We Will Remember Them
A new Remembrance article has been published on The Sutlers Supreme.
On 17 September 1939, five civilian employees of NAAFI's Naval Canteen Service lost their lives when HMS Courageous was torpedoed in the Western Approaches.
Walter Henry Copley, Harold George Matheson, Edward George Bishop, Edgar Patrick Wallace and Arthur George Quirk were the first NAAFI personnel to lose their lives during the Second World War.
Their story begins a Roll of Honour which our research has so far increased to 560 men and women.
We will remember them.
