In Remembrance of
Charles Dugdale Awdry

Charles was born on 22nd February 1906 at Kensington, Middlesex, the son of Sir Richard Awdry. He had served in the Navy in the 1920s/1930s and later left for civilian pursuits. He returned to the Navy after the outbreak of the war and was assigned to Hood.

He was remembered in the Portsmouth Evening News, May 1941 as having 'returned to the Navy after ten years' absence in the City, soon showed us he had forgotten little and was a continual source of good cheer to his mess mates.'

He was 35 years old at the time of his loss.
