Belated because I have been offline for 10 days or so.

Still, I am not the only one that can post on here.

Dad's tree

This is long overdue, but here is a photo we took of Dad's tree when we visited his grave in March 2008 and planted some daffodils. As you can see, it was not the dryest of days!

Congratulations Joe!

You are now an official qualified teacher of English! Rather you than me!

RNVR

I contacted the Royal Naval Voluntary Reserve (RNVR) about grandfather when there was no record of him in their 

list of officers. He has now been found and a record can be seen at this link. Some of the information gathered 

came from the obituary that I attached with my email (a copy appears in an earlier post on this blog). Below is the text of the RNVR's reply:

Found him as Temporary Lieutenant (Special Branch) at HMS Victory III in late 1941. Will gladly add an entry for him.

If anyone has a photograph of grandfather it would be nice to let the RNVR have it for their site.
