Alec George Aldis was born in the September quarter of 1916, in Ramsgate, Kent, the youngest son of Alfred and Edith Vivette Aldis (née Burley). His father, Alfred, was a trawler engineman, most likely employed on the Lowestoft drifter Parmount, which was then hired by the Admiralty in December 1914 and he enrolled in the trawler section of the Royal Naval Reserve (as an Engineman) on 16th December 1914. He and Edith moved to Ramsgate when the vessel was sent to there and he remained with the vessel before transferring to the drifter John Lincoln, also based in Ramsgate. He was demobbed in 1919 and they returned to Lowestoft.
