Uncle Albert

Uncle Albert DOB: 19.11.1920 Place: Wapping Buster Merryfield Uncle Albert joined the Royal Navy at 17 and then spent the rest of his life recounting tales from the war. He won seven medals - although this was largely due to the fact that he had an extraordinarily unfortunate time serving on seven ships that were sunk over a period of 4 years. After the war Albert joined the Merchant Navy and then took up the hobby of falling down pub cellars throughout the South East. Uncle Albert was famous for his unprompted wartime reminicenses and Buster did actually serve in the Second World War - signing up at the age of 18. After the war Buster took a sensible job in a bank while only dabbling in amateur dramatics. However at the grand old age of 57 he decided to take his love of acting seriously and made a concerted effort to turn professional. During the war... You alright son? No, I'm the only one in our family who ever went to sea. I tell a lie. My Grandmother's brother was safety officer on the Titanic. Buster sadly died of a brain tumour in 1999. He enjoyed the renown brought to him by Fools and often made guest appearances in on The National Lottery, Big Break and Noel's House Party.
