Raymond Steed
Raymond Victor Steed (1 October 1928 – 26 April 1943) was the second youngest British services recruit to die during the Second World War. He was just 14 years and 207 days old when the ship on which he was a galley boy, SS ''Empire Morn'', was blown up after it hit a U-boat mine on 26 April 1943.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Casualty details—Steed, Raymond Victor )〕 He was previously described by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as "the youngest known British services death,"〔 but this was revised in February 2010, when it was confirmed Reginald Earnshaw was actually younger, at 14 years and 152 days.〔(Second World War: Reginald Earnshaw, 14, Confirmed As Britain's Youngest Known Service Casualty | UK News | Sky News )〕
==Early life==
Raymond Steed, the son of steelworker Wilfred and his wife Olive (née Bright), was born on 1 October 1928, at Rimperley Terrace, St Mellons, Monmouthshire. He was one of nine children. The family later moved to Christchurch Road, Newport, near Cardiff.〔
Steed signed up to the British Merchant Navy Reserve Pool on 29 December 1942, two months after his 14th birthday. He joined his first ship, the former Royal Mail Line SS ''Atlantis'', on the same day. Steed served as a steward's boy on the ''Atlantis'', which had been converted into a hospital ship. He was awarded the Africa Star with clasp during Operation Torch, when Allied troops landed on the beaches of North Africa. Steed left the ship three months later, in March 1943, to join the SS ''Empire Morn''.〔
