Surgeon Captain A. E. Flannery died in Malta on 10 March at the age of 57. Alfred Edward Flannery was born on 23 August 1906 and qualified in Dublin in 1931. He joined the Royal Navy in the sarte year.
Serving at first on the China Station, he quickly established the reputation for friendly joviality and for sound doctoring that lasted throughout his naval career. It came as no surprise when in 1937 he was commended by the Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean, for his great coolness and efficiency in most trying circumstances when H.M.S. Hunter was mined. In 1947 he was awarded the King
Haakon VII Liberty Medal and in 1950 was appointed O.B.E. In 1958 he was made a medical specialist and proved his value in charge of the Families Clinic in Malta. In 1962 he became a Queen's Honorary Physician. Ill-health overtook Flannery in 1954, but in the following year he was again assessed as fit for full duty. He served in Malta and came to love the island greatly. On retiring he settled there. The keynotes of Alfred Flannery were his enjoyment of life and of his work and the enjoyment he gave to others. In 1937 he married Elizabeth Maud Duffy,of New York, by whom he is survived with their five children.
