Station Commander. William Palmer Sharp
Auxiliary Fire Service West Float, Birkenhead
from:Victoria Road, Birkenhead
He joined the Auxiliary Fire Service in 1937 after a long period of unemployment having previously been a steward in the Merchant Navy. I understand that he rose to the rank of Station Commander and was stationed at West Float dock in Birkenhead until 1943 when he was discharged due to ill health, suffering from duodenal ulcers after contracting malaria whilst at sea.
