His brother Leslie, a Serjeant in the Leicestershire Regiment, died in Tunisia on 22 February 1943.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George was a telegraphist on the ship HMS Anking. After the fall of Singapore, orders were given on 27 February 1942, to clear all remaining British auxiliary craft from Jakarta. About midnight HMAS Yarra and the Indian sloop HMIS Jumna sailed escorting a convoy to Tjilatjap. Arriving off Tjilatjap at 11am on 2 March, the ships were warned not to enter harbour. The Yarra was ordered to take the convoy, which consisted of the depot ship Anking, the tanker Francol and the motor minesweeper MMS 51, to Fremantle while the Jumna sailed for Colombo.<br><br>HMS Anking was shelled and sunk in the Indian Ocean 300 nautical miles south of Java, Netherlands East Indies by the Imperial Japanese Navy with the loss of 40 of her 97 crew. Some survivors were rescued by Dutch vessels, others reached Java and were taken as prisoners of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/navy-small.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/navy-small.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/navy-small-250x254.png 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/navy-small-120x122.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"330\" data-id=\"30779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-700x330.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-700x330.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-250x118.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-1536x724.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-2048x966.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1921-Biderman-120x57.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1921 Census<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"923\" data-id=\"30778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-700x923.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-700x923.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-250x329.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-768x1012.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-1165x1536.jpg 1165w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-1554x2048.jpg 1554w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-120x158.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1939-Biderman-scaled.jpg 1942w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1939 Register<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"545\" data-id=\"30777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-700x545.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-700x545.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-250x195.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-768x598.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-1536x1196.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-2048x1595.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.rememberingthejewsofww2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/44994_adm_104_127-0304-120x93.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Biderman Telegraphist, H.M.S.
