2. Aug. 28, 2008 I have recently started tracing the family history of my maternal Grandfather Thomas William Fisher. His brother, Alfred Fisher was in the RNVR during WW1 and was lost with HMS Viknor. I have just read Dr. John Fisher's message dated Sept 11, 2007 re this vessel. My Mother, now deceased, would have been Dr Fisher's first cousin. I have in my possession a postcard sent to my Aunt, (my Mother's eldest sister) from Alfred Fisher in 1909. As I had no knowledge of Dr. Fisher's existence, I would dearly like to get in touch with him. Please could you forward this e-mail to him. |

My grandfather, Alfred Fisher, was one of the RNVR officers killed on HMS Viknor. His body was washed ashore on the Scottish island of Oransay, where there is a RN grave. His body was identified by a signet ring, which I still wear. Myself and my son visited the grave in 1983. |
