| Ritchie R. | Cabin Boy (OS). SS ASHLEA | From Sailors Home, Liverpool (Garden Smith Intitute, Paradise Street, Liverpool) Ritchie Brammer, Robert Ritchie’s eldest grandson, believes that his grandfather was actually an RN rating, aboard the Ashlea as a gunner having joined the RN in 1938. His RN identity was hidden by describing him as a Cabin Boy so that the Germans would not find out that we were arming merchant ships and to protect his fellow crew members. He evidently subsequently had a busy war in the RN, which included serving aboard HMS Implacable under Vice Admiral Phillip Vian, who had commanded HMS Cossack when Ritchie was rescued from the Altmark. |
