P.O. Albert Ernest Price
Fleet Air Arm HMS Dorsetshire
from:Milford Haven
(d.5th Apr 1942)
Albert Price was my uncle, a petty officer in the fleet air arm he was the observer in the Farey Swordfish aircraft which used to fly off the deck of H.M.S Dorsetshire. Aged twenty-one and having been married to Daisy just three days before embarkation he was killed in action on Sunday the fifth of April 1942 when some eighty Japanese planes attacked and sank H.M.S
Dorsetshire and then H.M.S. Cornwall within fifteen minutes. He was sorely missed and will remain in our family's hearts forever.
