Hi. My father was
on the Orion during the evacuation of Crete i am not too familiar with
all the details simply because my father died in the sixties and i never
got round to asking the questions when i was that age. All i know is
that they suffered heavy casualties on deck pulling troops away from
that area. can you please fill me in with details etc. I would really
appreciate some further details. I still hold the medals awarded
but cannot fill in the details. One that sticks in my mind was that my
grandmother rip told me that the ship went missing in action ( but was
in hiding somewhere in the MED but having served in the R.N.
myself i cannot understand this) can you fill me in with the details.
My best regards to you all Kevan O'hare email
