HMS HOOD
MIDSHIPMAN (POLISH NAVY)
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Midshipman (Polish Navy) Leon Trzebiatowski - Zmuda was lost on 24, May 1941 when HMS Hood sank under attack by the Bismarck. The German battleship struck Hood with one torpedo, that torpedo hitting the British battleship's ammunition area; in less than one minute, Hood disappeared from the surface of the ocean, and 1415 Sons of England died.
At the time of his death, Leon was living in exile in the United Kingdom, but I have not been able to verify what the circumstances were to this fact.
"These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They may or may not sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead." ~Robert G. Ingersoll
