Obsah
- A photograph of my uncle Arthur Hanna. When asked he said he "was only a common sailor and my home is on the deep." He was "a boxer of real ability and an even better scrapper," according to his brother Frank Hanna. His one effort at promotion ended with a fight with one of the course instructors and he was to remain an Able Seaman until the end of his days.When war was declared he was serving in the destroyer Scorpion, commanded by Andrew Cunningham, later Admiral of the Fleet, Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope. Arthur remained in this ship throughout the Gallipoli campaign, until he was shot in the foot during a raid on the Turkish mainland. After medical treatment he was drafted to Laforey, a Harwich Force destroyer seconded to the Dover Patrol. he lost his life when she was mined in the English Channel in March 1917.
