This man is my uncle and I am named after him. So sad that he has no known grave. His actual age at his time of death was 18. He lied about his age to join the Navy. He was only 16 when he joined. His father Robert Reginald Gunn was also killed at sea in 1939 on board the fishing vessel Welvale.
Brave men (boys) doing a dangerous job.
