My
father's name is Horace Samuel Cooper of Maltby, Yorkshire, born on the
18th December 1919.
He served on the HMS Exeter during the South Atlantic tour which
included the Battle of the Rio de la Plata in 1939. Dad lives in Long
Beach, California, USA. He ended his service on the H.M.S. Exeter when
she returned to home port, Portsmouth, after sustaining damage in the
encounter with the Admiral Graf Spee in the South Atlantic. Happily for
my beloved father, he escaped the terrible fate that the Exeter was to
face when she was dispatched to help the Dutch in Indonesian waters
against the Japanese.
I do not have his service number.
Thanks.
