I was truly amazed to see this ship the Dragon . My Father had been on the old Drangon during the second World war and him and some of his mates called it The Lucky Dragon ...His Mates called my dad Harry Duff .He jioned up with the British Royal Marines as a Band Boy and stayed on until the End Of the war .He was also on the HMS Iron Duke , HMS Hood,HMS Ramillies,HMS Prince of Wales and others .They the men had a very tough go of it . May they all Rest in Peace..God Love them all...

Harry Duff was on the H.M.S. Dragon from July 1939 to Dec. 1942.
The British Royal Marines are true Heroes..and All men and women of the forces are heroes .
