In September, 2018 I received an email from David Pattison, who said in part: " I was just checking the Crew Lists: HMCS Patriot, HMCS Patrician, & HMCS Aurora, 1921 and found my father's name on the list. Ralph Reginald Pattison – he served on HMCS Aurora from 1/11/20 until 1/7/22. During that time he held the ratings of Boy 1/c, Boy Tel, & Ord. Tel. He was 16 years old when he first joined HMCS Aurora, not 14 as stated on the Ancestry microfilms. He was drafted to HMCS Patriot on 1/7/23 as a Telegraphist and was drafted off her on 18/5/25. He retired from the RCN on 26/1/1946 as C.P.O. Tel."
Can you provide details or corrections?
Please email Charlie Dobie.
