My father, Arthur, was born in 1927 and told me his brother, Leonard, joined the Royal Navy in 1937 and served aboard HMS Havoc which saw action in Norway in 1940 before joining HMS Barham. Arthur Seymour, my father, only told me about 2 years ago when i asked about 2 photographs on my grandmothers wall I remembered as a child, the other was of another brother, Ronald, who was lost when his tanker was sunk in the Atlantic. I would be grateful if anyone can fill me in on Leonards past between 1937 and his death in 1998.
