Eric Plume of Blackwell

 We are grateful for the following contribution to these pages from Sandra Plume Bennett regarding her father Eric's history:

"Here are a few pics of my dad, Eric Plume, together with his military records, medals, a brooch (and picture) of HMS Chevron, one of the many ships he served on, and his Burma Star tie. One pic of him and his brother David, being introduced to Princess Ann when they were members of the Sutton in Ashfield Naval Association. Further info, Dad was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk on 27 Dec 1922, died 15 Nov 1987. His parents were David Plume of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and his mother Edith Hill of Primrose Hill, Blackwell. Dad married my mum, Doreen May Wright of Westhouses in 1951, mum died in March 2009. Both lived in Blackwell for many years until their passing. "

We hope to display all the photos at some future date in a community exhibition.
