George  Henry Pavey, my uncle, was born in 1903 in Liverpool. He was in the RN Reserve so was called back to service at the onset of WW2.   He served on HMS Northern Rover, a Grimsby fshing trawler that had been requisitioned in August 1939.  The ship was sunk with all  hands in the Orkneys  by German U-Boat U-59, 'Harald Jurst', on 30 October 1939 at 23.35 hrs Northern Rover was the first former Grimsby based trawler in Admiralty service to be sunk by U-Boat action and she was herself a German built vessel under the Reparation Programme. George's uncle, Walter Seymour b 1874, died on 31 May 1941, a casualty of the May Blitz on Liverpool, having come through WW1 relatively unscathed.   Lest we forget Joan ________________________________ From: Lynne <[email protected]> To: Sent: Sunday, 11 November 2012, 14:37 Subject: [ENG-LIV] Lest We Forget Dear All, Today is Remembrance Sunday and tomorrow is Remembrance Day (Poppy Day or Armistice Day; Veterans' Day in the US).  Please take a moment to remember your family members and others who have perished in the line of duty. Wouldn't it be lovely if those of you with ancestors who served in the wars would acknowledge their contributions on the list with some memories or stories about them, or just a mention of when and where they served? For this special occasion only, you may include ancestors from outside of the area covered by this list.  So that others can find your posts, be sure to include your ancestor's surname in all caps in the subject line. I look forward to seeing your posts.
