(I lived on the same mess deck as Ross, a brilliant bloke. We were Anson division. He died, hit by a lorry, while out running one evening with Tug Wilson, one of the PTIs. Tug was distraught. Ross's bed space or pit was the very last on the left before the door of the messdeck in
Caledonia (far right). For a long time I hated passing it. When his kit was auctioned off I bought a leather belt of his. Apart from my own family, Ross was the first death I was personally involved in. We were all of a similar age, about 19 or so, the atmosphere was stunned silence - with thanks to David Clark, ex-Engine Room Artificer Apprentice.).
