From one of Her 4” guns.Originally part of the ‘Ferrers Walker’ collection that was on display at the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth, curators notes are on the reverse. HMS Sparrow served in the Royal Navy for the North America and West Indies Station.

HMS Sparrow remained at this station outside of returning to the United Kingdom for a return to service until 1953, when he left for the Far East to join the 3rd flotilla of frigates. Her brief service there includes a period of service with the Royal Navy elements of the UN Task Force deployed off the west coast of Korea. In January 1951, after the end of the Korean War, he was redeployed to the South Atlantic until March 1956 when he returned to the United Kingdom to be transferred to the Portsmouth reserve.

Mr Ferrers Walker spent a lifetime collecting the largest and most significant WW1 and WW2 Naval history artefacts.
