William James Urquhart

by Felicity Podger

My father, Lieutenant (Engineer) William James Urquhart, a New Zealander, served in the Royal Navy 1917-1921.

He was torpedoed in 1917 whilst aboard HMS Avenger.

Prior to joining the Royal Navy he served aboard several merchant navy ships.

The photo is of William in his navy uniform.
