More about Ernest Spinks
Ernest Spink lived at 9 Market Place in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. He died from influenza in the Dundee Royal Infirmary. Ernest Spink is recorded in the Dundee Seamen’s Roll of Honour because Dundee is where he died and in the hope that Dundee men and women who died and or are buried elsewhere will be similarly recognized.
He was buried in Caister Old Cemetery D.91.
