Captain of the Grimsby Chums - Charles Ferry

[yellow]

I have been trying to research this fellow for a very long time. You would think there would be a mention of him in one of the many histories of this famous Battalion but sadly there isnt. As a Capatin he would of commanded his own company of Chums and there arent werent many companies to a Battalion so thus only a hand full of Captains.

Using every standard resource available I have managed to gather all of the following information, Can anyone on forum add so much as snip bit more of info to what I have already listed here? I appear to of reached a dead end.

Many Thanks,

Steve.

However there is an entry for a Lt C. Ferry in 1940 as a Lt. with the RNVR, I dont think theres a connection there.
