Biographical Information: "Tony" as he was known to his friends, was the husband of Mary Pares, of Petts Wood, Kent. He was the son of Lancelot and Winifred Pares of Horsell, Woking Surrey. He was remembered in the Portsmouth Evening News, May 1941 as someone who "always found time to take on any extra work, however arduous, was yet able by his love of simple things and colour to turn the most ordinary excursion ashore into a delightful adventure." Tony was 36 years old at the time of his loss.
