Kevin Dallimer was born 8 October 1960 in Croydon. 
His local newspaper reported on his return from the South Atlantic, with the headline "Never Again vows Canberra cook home from the war".
Ship's cook Kevin Dallimer, safely home from the Falklands, viwed this week he would never volunteer for war again. "I've never been so frightened in all my life," said 21-year old Kevin, of London Road, Ashford, who was right in the front line of hostilities on board the SS Canberra..... He joined P&O as a third cook on its flagship Caneberra and was returning to Southampton from only his second cruise when he had heard that the liner had been requisitioned as a troopship. Virtually the entire kitchen crew volunteered for Falklands duty.... "Men in the forces are trained for that sort of thing, but we weren't," said Kevin. The crew's ordeal began when the Canberra sailed throught he narrow Falklands Straight to drop soldiers at San Carlo Bay.... The liner later had the task of returning prisoners to Argentina.... Kevin will be rejoining the Canberra for a Meditaerranean cruise in September."
Includes a folder containing all of the ship's newsletters (15) and some newspaper cuttings, during the conflict and an album of general photos of the Task Force. 
He became Executive Chef at Stratford Moat House Hotel.
He died 17 July 2020.

Clerk February 1857. In November 1859 there was a mutiny on the Princess Royal, when a section of the crew were unahppy with arrangments made for crew leave while at Portsmouth. The inquiry was fully reported in the newspapers, including the witness statements: "Mr. H.C. Medder, clerk on board Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal,took the names of the men of the lower deck as they came up at the close of the disturbances." The court sentenced the mutineers to three months prison with hard labour.
