HMS Royal Oak

[PurpleRain1994]

My great uncle died aboard this ship. His name was Ron Schofield and I am honoured to have his medals that he was awarded posthumously. I also have letters he sent home his mother. He died aged 22.

Does anyone have any details of my wife's great uncle who went down with the Royal Oak?  His name was Walter Slawson, from Llanidloes, Montgomryshire, Wales

Thank you so much for the posting. I thought it was just us yanks who were shamefully remiss in not teaching our youth about the heroes of its country. Shame on both out countries. Also I'm writing a novel about a WWII British Naval Officer and the story of the sinking of HMS Royal Oak plays a prominent roll in the story.

May those boys whose lives were lost in this tragedy be granted eternal rest.

Thank you again for the posting
