Able Seaman Hubert Samuel Bevis RN (1883-1955) was born at Worth, Kent, the son of Samuel Bevis, a coastguard. He entered the Royal Navy on 4 June 1901 for twelve years service. For most of World War I, he was in HMS 'Princess Royal', being present at the battle of Heligoland Bight and was later wounded at Jutland. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for remaining at his post until relieved although badly burned on his face and hands. At the end of the war he served on HMS 'Crescent', by then a submarine depot ship, firstly stationed at Scapa Flow and later at Oban. In 1939 he was living with his widowed father at Stubbington, Hampshire and working as a jobbing gardener as his father did before him..
