Hi Pete . hope this gets to you cant find a proper link to answer your questions .
i was a eight years old when the war started & albert was 15 years older than me.Albert died about 15 years . most of this information has come from my brother George who is ninty & knew him quite well being in the HLI himself.
I remember him coming home from one of these early raids though & my father who served in the first world war takin him into the bathroom & cleaning him up. i was hiding on the stairs so i saw quite a bit of what was going on.
We lived in custom house right next to the docks so he must have been dropped of.
I remember him giving me a silver table bell that he had brought back as a souvenir .
I think he was on boulonge or Guernsey raids . he was never one to talk about it a lot.
Hope this helps ..i will add as i get more info.
Regards Ron
