W.D. Puttock, Acting Petty Officer, HMS Voltaire Dear Mac Naively I had no idea this sort of information existed I was just thinking about my Dad and keyed in the word VolItaire and all this information came out. My Dad served on the Voltaire as Acting Petty Officer I believe and was taken prisoner when she was sunk. Do you have any more information on him? I remember him telling the story that he and a few others escaped from the prison camp only a few days before a regiment from the Blackwatch rescued them. Yours sincerely
All I have is the fact your Dad is listed in this HMS Voltaire Roll of Honour at Number 126 under Prisoners of War. He is not mentioned in Roger Coward's Book " Sailors in Cages." Regards,
