Stokr. Charles William Parfitt HMS Fidelity (d.30th Dec 1942) Charles Parfitt is my uncle whom I never met. He was much loved and missed by my relatives, one of whom is still alive (Joy, one of his sisters). He was a joker and was always playing tricks on his sisters. He couldn't wait to join up and even lied about his age. What a waste. God bless Charlie.
