Sailor Home: They d only been married four days, and had been separated for 10 long
Sailor Home: They d only been married four days, and had been separated for 10 long months that is why it was any porthole in a storm of emotion which boiled up when the interrupted honeymooners caught sight of each other again. The scene happened on destroyer H.M.S. Decoy, home at Deyonport after 10 months service in the Mediterranean which brought home bridegroom M.E.I. Ken Stapleton, 21 who had to leave England and home and Beauty so soon. His pretty slender bride Marjorie, 21 rushed to find him soon as the warship docked, but in the crowd of relatives that swarmed on board, couldn t get through the gangway soon enough, so she just wriggled through the open porthole right in-to Kens arms. Ken and Marjorie live at Bricham, Devon. He is a National Serviceman, and she a shop assistant. January 1957

Sailor Home - A Storm of Emotion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment that encapsulates the essence of love and longing. The image transports us back to January 1957, aboard the H. M. S. Decoy, as it docks at Deyonport after ten arduous months in the Mediterranean. Amongst the crowd of eager relatives eagerly awaiting their loved ones' return is Marjorie, a pretty and slender bride who had only been married to her sailor husband Ken for four days before they were separated. As soon as Marjorie catches sight of her beloved Ken through an open porthole, a whirlwind of emotions engulfs them both. It's as if time stands still amidst the chaos surrounding them; their eyes lock and hearts race with anticipation. Unable to reach him through the crowded gangway quickly enough, Marjorie seizes an opportunity and wriggles through the porthole into Ken's waiting arms. Their embrace speaks volumes about their unwavering love and commitment despite being apart for such a long period. This tender reunion showcases not only their deep affection but also highlights the sacrifices made by military couples during times of war. Ken Stapleton, a National Serviceman at just 21 years old, proudly returns home to his beautiful bride Marjorie in Bricham, Devon. Their story serves as a reminder that even amidst turbulent times and uncertain futures, love can conquer all obstacles – bringing hope and joy
