L/Stkr. Sydney Bernard "Jack" Tunnell
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Portsmouth
My grandad, Leading Stoker Sidney 'Jack' Tunnell, served in the Royal Navy for his entire working career. Originally from Cranleigh, Surrey, he lived in Portsmouth, Southsea, when not at sea. He survived the war, and moved back to Surrey, following the rehousing of 'bombed out' families from Portsmouth. In the pictures, the men are wearing their hats on back-to-front, so as not to give away their ship's name (HMS Nelson). He is the one on the right in both pics. He died in the early 1970s. I also include a photocopy of his certificate issued on board HMS Nelson, for the naval tradition when crossing the Equator for the first time. It's dated 9th April 1941, and signed by 'A.Moore'.
