258449 Alan Alfred Walker Royal Navy HMS Pembroke from:Plumstead, London Alan Walker born in 1923 and joined the Royal Navy in 1939 aged 16. He was a supply assistant and was based predominantly during the Second World War in Port of Spain in Trinidad at HMS Benbow a shore establishment.
I believe it was during this time he met his 1st wife Elaine who was a Trinidadian whom I believe he married over there. (I have yet to find proof of this though) and brought her back to the UK in 1945.
He served on:- HMS Royal Arthur 42-43,
- HMS President 43-43,
- HMS Pembroke March 43-may 43,
- HMS Benbow 1943-1945,
- HMS Pembroke May 45-Jul 45,
- HMS Europa Jul 45- May 46,
- HMS Pembroke Jun 46-Jun46,
- HMS Merlin until discharged Oct 1946.
He did enjoy his time in the Royal Navy, but said the times were hard and he saw things that no man/woman should see, but he never regretted serving for his country.
