Oliver James Sturdee Hicks, 1914-1941 
May 30th was the traditional Memorial Day to remember those who gave their lives in the defense of freedom. This is my father's cousin Sturdee, who was a seaman on the cruiser HMS Calcutta. The Calcutta was sunk in the Mediterranean while covering the evacuation from Crete in May 1941. Thousands of men like him died to protect the freedom and security we enjoy today.
Rest in peace!
