NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Lt. Cdr. Eric Charles Fripp MBE, RN
Lt. Cdr. Eric Charles Fripp, earnt his MBE (Mil.) for keeping HMS Somali afloat for several days, after being torpedoed on 20 Sep 1942. Most of the crew were transferred to other ships, but Eric remained as engineer officer in a skeleton crew of 80 men. The crippled ship was towed to Iceland by her sister ship, HMS Ashanti, but during the night of 23/24 September, the ship broke apart and sunk. Only 35 men were rescued.
In March 1941, HMS Somali played an active role in Operation Claymore and captured documents and spare parts for the German Enigma coding machine, which enabled the specialists at Bletchley Park to break into a German radio code. Further details of HMS Somali can be found here.
Other notes:
Eric and his second wife, Hazel, built a house at Shillingstone, Dorset in his Father’s orchard.
