Notes
for ALBERT HENRY JAMES PALMER:
Albert committed the sin of stealing his grandmother
purse. His punishment was that he was sent to
join the Royal Marines as a boy entrant.
He worked his way up to become an Admiral's Valet.
He was serving as valet to Vice Admiral William
J Whitworth 'later knighted' and served on HMS
Hood between August 1940 and May 1941 during the
Second World War. The Admiral moved his flag from
the Hood to another ship, possibly the Ark Royal,
and his valet Albert went with him. That same
month HMS Hood was involved in the 'Hunt for the
Bismarck'. The Bismarck was sunk by the English
fleet, but the Hood was lost during the battle.
Of the crew of over 1400, only three survived.
Albert avoided being 'killed in action' by the
luck of following his Admiral when he changed
ships!
Albert and May celebrated their Golden Wedding
Anniversary in Plymouth 11th October 1974
