[tomba]

Wilfred Allan Plummer was born on 26 Mar 1902 in Penrith, Cumberland, England as the first child of James Plummer and Edith Antoinette Chicken. He married Margaret Elizabeth Thomson, I understand he was a Mercury Boy and in the British Navy towards the end of WW1, he was on a number of ships/ subs I have got information from the National archives but it only mentions the following ships I am a bit confused over the information
Fisgard 4/1/1918
Victory II,
Queen Elizabeth,
Revenge,
Vernon,
Dophin,
Cyclops (L18) 
can anyone enlighten me apparently whilst serving on board the HMS Dolphin, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, his rank was Commissioned Engineer why I cannot find out

This needs further research but I believe he was awarded the DSC for his part in the torpedoing of the German crusier KARLSRUHE in 1940, which was later sunk by the Germans themselves. There is a notice in the London Gazette that lists a Wilfred Alfred Plummer receiving the DSC - https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/34845/supplement/2786/data.pdf. Having looked at the Navy List for 1939 no DSC and in 1941 his DSC is shown, hence why I think it's the same man.

From the Malta Family History index of RN: James Arthur PLUMMER, the son of Margaret Elizabeth and Wilfred Allan Plummer, 59 Strada Imrabat, Sliema, E.R.A., Royal Navy, born 29th October 1828 (assume this should be 1928)

Some of the names in your list in your original post, I believe to be shore depots.

Fishguard  is probably the name of the town/port.   and I believe  Vernon  is the name of a shore depot (on the South coast of England, I think).

The Royal Navy gives names to all its establishments.

I suggest that you do a google search on "HMS Vernon Crew List"
