Lt. Ralph Carnac Stallard-Penoyre

Royal Navy Squadron Commander HMS Dasher

(d.27th March 1943)

I wanted to pay my respects to the memory of my brother-in-law, Lt. Ralph Carnac Baker-Stallard-Penoyre RN Fleet Air Arm, who perished in the sinking of the escort carrier HMS Dasher on 27 March, 1943. Very sadly, he had married my sister, Section Officer (Marjorie) Jean Thornton WAAF only some ten days before he was killed. I well remember, as a five year old, being in awe of him and "helping" him in a child's 'sailor-suit' to cut their wedding cake at one of my parent's favourite haunts, the Goose and Gander club, in London.
