Another biography published of a member of Lodge Temperance 2557 who served with honour in WW1. Bro Andrew Friskin served as Engineer Lieutenant, Royal Naval Reserve, on HMS Changuinola, a merchant ship, commandeered by the Government in 1914 and converted to an armed merchant cruiser.
He continued his career in the merchant navy and in WW2 his ship was sunk by enemy aircraft. As a result of his bravery in trying to save the ship he was awarded an OBE.
You can read more of his story here or go to our WW1 Roll of Honour and scroll down to his name.
Andrew’s brother William also served in WW1 and his biography will be published shortly.
