Wondered if anyone knows anything about this lad. Noticed the grave last year at Wadsley. He seemed to be missed out of rememberance so I left a poppy which I will do again.

Not much more at all, we have what you have really. His number was SB 103.

HM Sanda was an armed yaght, a german battery on the Belgian coast did for it.

There's 3 pages of his papers at TNA, about 4 quid to download. (Born at Sheffield)

Kendrick, Clement - H.M. Yacht "Sanda." Royal Naval Reserve - Portsmouth Naval Memorial

Also tried to find an image of the Yachtt but no success

Well done, I wonder who found the pic? I normally place a poppy on the family grave but went to Oughtibridge Church this year.

Just a kid!
