I have found out about my Great Uncle Ernest Carlile b.1918 who went down with the ship HMS Glorious on 8th June 1940. His body has never been recovered. I would love a living relative to be able to contact me.

My Uncle was on HMS Glorious when she was sunk in 1940. His name was Able Seaman George Rogerson, Service No D/JX153640. I was born one month after she was sunk And so I never new him. I was named after him and as I never saw him I was wondering if there were any photographs of him.

It is with sad regret that I inform you of the death of Fred Thornton, on sat May 9, 2009 at Birkenhead. I believe Fred was the last living survivor of the Glorious. For interest there is a memorial to the Glorious in the Swan Hotel, Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead.

One of my brothers, Vincent Anthony Salt, age 20, was lost on HMS Glorious June 8th 1940. Could someone please tell me what the ship's Latin motto, "Explicit Nomen", means.

Thank you,
Gerry Salt
Ocala, Florida

"Many thanks for the posting of my request and I'm pleased to say that I have finally found the answer! I tried Google and typed in "Explicit Nomen", and up came a page which included HMS Glorious. It means,
"The name explains itself". Thanks again and what a most interesting site you have! Regards. Gerry Salt"

I am looking for information on my uncle James Madden who was onboard the Glorious when it was sunk in 1940. He was in the Royal Marines and wondered if there was a very slim chance there could be any photos or an even slimmer chance of anyone still alive who may have known him. I do realize this is probably a very difficult even impossible task, my mother would be delighted with any information. I trust you may be able to help. Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Preston
