In Remembrance of
Philip James Buckett

Philip Buckett, like Eric Marsh (q.v.), was a pupil of Taunton's School, Southampton, and is commemorated by the school (see below).

Philip joined Hood on 15th April 1940 and served in her right up to her loss except for two weeks in February 1941 (part of the period of her refit at Rosyth) during which he was briefly attached to H.M.S. Repulse. His Midshipman's Journal is in the care of the National Museum of the Royal Navy and gives a valuable insight into his life in Hood for the 13 months he spent in her. He was 19 years old at the time of his loss.
