Does anyone know anything about John Norgett JX222669? He enlisted as OS on 01/10/1940 and was posted to HMS Europa and qualified as a hydrophone listener.
He then joined HMS De La Pole FY558 armed mine sweeping trawler out of HMS Minos then HMS Negro MV717 (12/3/41-4/6/41). He then went on to King Alfred (Sub Lt) and Combined Operations at HMS Quebec (Lt) landing craft duty from 30/8/43. No record after this until demobbed 27/4/46 but anecdotal evidence, family history and wartime photos suggest its likely he served in Italian landings and Burma.
Any info that will fill in the gaps would be helpful.
Thank you.
