Ord Sea. Cyril Parker

Royal Navy HMS Spartan

from:Stratford, Essex

(d.13th February 1944)

Cyril Parker is my father's older half brother. His mother had him in 1925 when she was just 15. Consequently, he went into foster care with a Mr & Mrs T Youngman in Stratford, Essex. She then went onto marry and have 3 more children (my father being the middle child). My father remembers when he was just 10 yrs old, his mother receiving the news that Cyril had died during an air raid at sea. Cyril was just 19 yrs old.

It has taken us until now to really find out what happened to him as my father always thought that Cyril had gone down with the HMS Hood, obviously those records never showed a Cyril Parker or Cyril Youngman. Its so nice after all these years to know what happened to my Uncle.
