264374 Cmdr. George Francis Lyon Labouverie Page DSO.Royal Navy HMS Cyclamen from:Ealing George Page died under mysterious circumstances.
He was shot whilst driving in Ealing on 27th of October 1920.
The record is unclear over whether he committed suicide or was murdered. Something to do with the Lord Nelson hotel in Milford or Brentford, an immoral event and him not reporting them.
He was conferred with the Order of Nichan Iftikhar by his Highness the Bey of Tunis. An award usually conferred on French citizens. His brother John Howard Labouverie Page was a surgeon commander in the Royal Navy, his father John Labouverie Page was Fleet Paymaster and his nephew John Cecil Gilbert Martin was also a commander and was presented with a OBE for his service.
Due to this history I was offered a place at Brittania with no entry requirements. Due to the location of several other ancestors births, at sea, Jamaica Chile and China. All in areas with Royal Navy harbours.
I believe there are many other naval personnel in this family line. Certainly my grandmother used to say “a very long line of ancestors with naval careers”
