Clowrey, Frederick
Able Seaman
Frederick Clowrey was born in the 3rd Quarter of 1919 and is believed to have been the son of Frederick Peter Clowrey (Senior) and Annie Clowrey (nee Meechin). There was an elder sister, Mary Clowrey, born in 1916.

A torpedo attack was made on a Japanese merchant vessel off the north coast of Java. The attack was unsuccessful and the Commanding Officer (Lt. Peter Barnsley Marriott, DSO, RN) then surfaced for a gun action. Although several hits were made and the gun jammed at least once, the enemy counter attacked with gunfire and then attempted to ram.

Stoic was dived to safety but unfortunately the gun trainer, Frederick was then found to be missing. It was assumed that he had accidentally been left on deck and lost overboard and either drowned or had been taken prisoner.

A Tribute To Submariners

I have often looked for an opportunity of paying tribute to our submariners.

There is no branch of His Majesty's Forces which in this war has suffered the same proportion of total loss as our submarine service.

It is the most dangerous of all services.

That is perhaps the reason why the First Lord tells me that the entry into it is keenly sought by Officers and Men.

I feel sure the House would wish to testify its gratitude and admiration to our Submariners for their Skill - Courage and Devotion which has proved of inestimable value to the sustenance of our country.

Winston Churchill

This list has been made possible by the hard work of Pam Armstrong in the first instance and has lately been refined by Malcolm Blenkinsopp, Honorary Historian at Espana Levante Submariners

In some cases there are different Names and Dates of Birth mentioned in the notes, especially in the First World War, as many young men told lies in order to join early. Their be variations between birth names and the names the men chose to serve under.

The list will continue to evolve as new information comes to light. If you think you can help fill any of the gaps, please use our Contact Us page to get in touch.
