Ron Linton | Merchant Seaman Gunner Ron Linton The last known survivor of the tanker Ohio which was at the heart of the legendary Pedestal convoy, Ron Linton had set out on that operation, as a 19 year old Merchant Seaman Gunner, on another ship, the MV Dorset. Hit by a stick of bombs, Dorset was crippled and abandoned. Linton was rescued by HMS Bramham and then volunteered to join the stricken tanker Ohio to help man her AA guns for the last desperate effort to reach Malta. The arrival of the surviving Pedestal ships, particularly the tanker Ohio, was the turning point in the siege of Malta. |
