I know this house has been done quite often but I got the chance to see it for myself (and take my own lower quality shots of it) so I hope you all don't mind me posting about it.
I'm not sure why or how this house got it's name because I couldn't find any evidence of the owner being in the Army. The only information I could find was him being in the Equipment Control department of a shipping company.
The owner (Tony) seemed to have lived reasonably comfortably - this is a presumption on my part after having seen his salary in some paperwork. There really is a lot of sensitive data floating around in this house, along with all the old family photos.
It seems like he had quite a few lovers after reading through letters I found and letters others have found on this website and given the amount of females names at the bottom of the letters!
It seems he got unwell at one point:
A postcard from his children:
Did he once play in a football team?
It was pretty evident after looking around on the floor for a bit that he did a lot of reading into training to become a diver:
Which must have helped him in becoming a Marine Surveyor:
As others have said before, it seems like his was a keen photographer. He also seemed to be very fond of this house - I found some negatives with just pictures of his house on!
It's pretty evident there has been a lot of activity in this house, which really is a shame given how fond Tony must have been of it. The bathroom has been trashed (along with all of the other rooms) and the copper piping has been removed from under the floor boards:
Out in the garden was a shed, with the chest from mockingbird's post in it:
and a few other bits and pieces:
Is that a cat?
Thank you for reading my rather picture heavy post!
