Albert Walter "Walter" Farley

Royal Marines HMS Dorestshire

from:Worcestshire, UK

(d.5th April 1942)

My great uncle, Walter Farley, was a Marine during the Second World War and was aboad the HMS Dorestshire when she sunk the Bismarck and when she was sunk by Japanese dive bomber planes.

My nan never knew what happened to her big brother until I started researching his service. I found that the HMS Dorestshire sunk off Sri Lanka on the date that my great uncle died. I was able to use Google Earth to pin point the site of the wreck she could finally see where he had died.
