I have just inherited my great uncle's Naval sword, medals, etc etc and was wondering if anyone remembers Eric Albert Coale from HMS Electra. He was a Lieutenant who died at the battle of Java. I understand that the Electra picked up survivors from the Prince of Wales and the Repulse and I am curious to know if anyone remembered him. |
