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 Through a Porthole
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the heartwarming reunion of newlyweds aboard the H. M. S. Decoy after enduring ten long months of separation. The young couple, Ken and Marjorie Stapleton, had only been married for four days before duty called Ken away to serve in the Mediterranean. As the warship docked at Deyonport, Marjorie eagerly searched for her beloved husband amidst a crowd of anxious relatives. Unable to reach him through the gangway due to the overwhelming swarm, she found an unconventional solution - wriggling through an open porthole. The moment their eyes met again was nothing short of magical. It was as if a storm of emotions erupted within them both - joy, relief, longing - all encapsulated in that single glance exchanged through the tiny window. Ken's arms opened wide to embrace his slender bride who had defied convention and risked it all just to be with him once more. Their love transcended any obstacle thrown their way. Now reunited on land and residing in Bricham, Devon, Ken continues his service as a National Serviceman while Marjorie works as a shop assistant. This photograph captures not only their unwavering devotion but also serves as a testament to love's ability to conquer even the greatest distances. This timeless image from January 1957 reminds us that true love knows no boundaries and can thrive even amidst
