This young and promising sailor, who would have celebrated the 23rd anniversary of his birthday today, was the son of Mr & Mrs Ricou of 42 Lower Bath Street. He had been some 3 years in the Royal Navy and was serving on HMS Albion. During the operations in the Mediterranean he was taken ill and though everything possible was done he passed away on 8 September at 15th Stationary Hospital attached to the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.
