Thanks to the British Legion. Aveley, Grays Athletic.
Fans and Boardmembers...
and our visitors.
For showing respect to the sadly fallen.
I was deeply shocked to hear one of the Grays Ath players was on HMS Hood.

I believe that there was only 2 survivors. That was the reason that the call up for national service was never for the royal navy,..bombed at sea nasty way to go ,no where to go.
GOD BLESS ALL OUR HEROES
