Hi,
I am researching the life of Lt James Hilton Alston who was the Marine Engineering officer in HMS AFFRAY on its tragic loss in April 1951.
James joined the RN as an Artificer Apprentice in 1936 at HMS FISGARD Chatham passing out in 1939. He was torpedo and rescued three times during WWII. He served in most theatres during the war. Commissioned in 1944, and joined submarines in 1947. He had been in HMS AFFRAY for 12 months before the fatal accident.
Any information particularly any photographs of James would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Ken
