• Unit Number: Enter the unit number ONLY - no other details. i.e. to find all items under the 10th Lighthorse Regiment - simply type in the number 10. If searching for a composite unit such as the 55/53rd Militia Battalion (Australian Military Forces) - simply type in 55/53. NOTE: a number only will yield results for ALL countries.

F.KIRBY

U.K. Four - (Burma,Defence)

Service No: D/JX 238696

Unit No: HMS Cornwall

Corps/Service: Navy

Country: United Kingdom

I am searching for the family of Frank KIRBY who was killed during the Second World War. Able Seaman Frank KIRBY was a British sailor born in the United Kingdom and serving in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. He had survived the sinking of HMS Cornwall (200 miles South West of Ceylon) in April 1942 and there is no explanation as to how he came to be on board Kuttabul; other than the fact that Kuttabul was a depot ship where sailors often found themselves temporarily placed and in between postings. Frank KIRBY was 26 years of age at the time of his death. If you are related to Frank, there is an organisation in Australia which is called the Kuttabul Commemoration Project and they would like to make contact with you.
