Able Seaman Frederick William Chilvers RN (1871-1969) was born on Trafalgar Day and he entered the Royal Navy in October 1886. He served during 1995, in HMS 'Royal Sovereign' -at that time the flagship of the Channel Fleet. Then he was in HMS 'Majestic' for the next five years. 'Majestic' was the largest pre-dreadnought of her time when commissioned in 1895. He joined the Fleet Reserve Chatham in 1906 and re-enrolled in 1910, serving throughout the war until demobilised in 1919. His wartime career seems relatively uneventful. He spent six months in HMS 'Hannibal' during August 1914 to January 1915 -she was then serving as a guard ship at Scapa Flow. During 1918, Chilvers served as a gunner on minesweeper HMS 'Munlochy'. He returned to Suffolk after the war and is buried at Holy Trinity, Barsham.
