Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Francis Pridham, CB, KBE, (seated, first right) at his eldest daughter Anne's's wedding to Lieutenant-Commander James Graham Gould ("Nat") aboard HMS Hood, 28 July 1937.  Pridham served as Flag Captain and CSO aboard the Hood, 1936-1938; from 1941 to 1946 (when he retired) he served as President of the Ordnance Board with the rank of Vice-Admiral.  Note the HMS Hood crest on the gun-caps.  The thought "Ginger and Fishcake sat here" occurs - but I am sure the wedding party would have preferred not to think of that ...  JR.

Ginger and Fishcakes' Commanding Officer

The tanker SS Ohio, supported (literally) by destroyers HMS Penn and HMS Ledbury, enters the Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta, 15 August 1942.  The most important outcome of convey Operation Pedestal, the arrival of the Ohio and its cargo simply meant that Churchill's "unsinkable aircraft carrier", Malta, survived - and went from strength to strength.  Best regards, JR.
