Hadn't seen a photo of the ship here yet, as originally requested a long time ago (!). There is one to complete the request on a site www.militarian.com which I tried to upload here but it hasn't.

I am a granddaughter of John Sharpey Schafer. Of course I never knew him, but you might be interested to know that after he died, his father decreed that our surname should be Sharpey-Schafer. His 2 sons are Peter and Michael, my father, also in the Navy. I believe my father sold his father’s medals towards the end of his own life. Incidentally John’s younger brother died in 1915 at the battle of Loos. These tragic deaths reverberate down the generations.
