My late father, John Pountney, was a 20 year old seaman on the Repulse when she was sunk. I believe he was a gunner on one of the secondary guns. I'm
afraid I know little about them as Father never put any notes on the
backs of the photos. I know he was a boxer so that probably explains the
two shots of the boxing match, he might well have been one of the
participants. Bob
