His name was Leslie John Carey 1298815, he lost a brother Daniel, who went down on the HMS Hood and another brother who was in the South Wales Borderers and served in Burma, this was Edward who was my Grandfather. Can anyone help me with some/any information of how my Great Uncle and his fellow crew members met their demise ? Thanks

And below the link with the picture of his grave stone at Tancabesti cemetery. Indeed it is mentioned his brother lost on HMS Hood.
