Thyne Lloyd Phillips Davies.jpg

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1929

This photo, again from the 1928-1929 album of WR Fell, shows five of the crew of HM Submarine L3 relaxing at Repulse Bay. Unfortunately only four are named. I've found a Sub Lt Thyne on HMS Titania's sick list in 1921. Lt Lloyd is commemorated on p. 3 of the journal Light Airs where at Chefoo “It is understood that the local police requested to be informed whenever Lt. Lloyd went ashore.” Perhaps he is here recovering from a night out. Phillips is mentioned in Light Airs as Dr Phillips.

Would "Waterfall Cove" be the same as Plover Cove? Plover Cove seems to have been a popular destination for the officers of HM Submarine L3 in their time off, when they had use of this cutter. Here they are back view in the swimwear of the time.
