DID YOU KNOW?
JOHN HARRISON (1914-2020)
Served on HMS Belfast as an Ordnance Officer responsible for maintaining gun turrets at the front of the ship. Conditions at sea were often hard, and he was saved from being washed overboard in the Arctic Ocean only when his hand froze onto the metal handle of the turret door. When HMS Belfast was badly damaged by a magnetic mine in November 1939, John Harrison suffered two broken vertebrae in the explosion.
