I was name after my uncle Teddy.
He was on a ship called Empire Endurance which was a German ship originally. It was captured by the British after Germany invaded Norway and renamed.
It was torpedoed in the Atlantic in 1941 and he was lost at the age of 19.
I recently found out my nin gave Teddy’s war medal to my arl fella with the expected intention it would eventually be passed on to me.
However he gave it to my uncle, his brother in law, years ago.
Loved me that fella.
