Has Hurled ( my grandad served in the Royal Navy, on-board HIS Usurper!

My late grandad, Mr William Charles Binns, from Aintree in Liverpool, served in the Royal Navy, during the second world war, on-board HMS Usurper! The submarine! Just before Usurper was about to set off on its ultimate voyage , my Grandad became seriously unwell and visited the subs on-board doctor who realised he was quite seriously ill immediately, therefore ordering my Grandad to leave the submarine as he was too unwell to carry on serving aboard HMS Usurper for the time being! My Grandad of course,followed orders and went home!

But unfortunately the news soon came in that my Grandads submarine he had just gotten off had been torpedoed by the Japanese and completely anialated, killing every member of the crew onboard! All of my Grandads good friends and fellow naval Officers and the gentlemen who ranked above him were dead! But strangely and fortunately for us, something made my Grandad become sick. Making him leave the submarine almost immediately.

This in turn saved his life!

Crazy or what!? And my Grandad lived a long, healthy and prosperous life, going on to adopt my father and his sister!

now, how about that for a gut instinct yet?! 2.216.41.33 (talk) 09:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
