Sir Henry Ernest Turner

EAR was found dead at her Hampstead home five months after her husband 's accidental drowning. Perhaps because of the social stigma of suicide, the coroner found that her death was accidental.

EAR dedicated her novel Three Came Unarmed to Henry Ernest Turner , as my most valued friend . . . whose unfailing and ingenious pessimism robs publication of any unforeseen disappointments.

This too she dedicated to, and in reproof of, her husband , calling him her sailing partner and recalling some words he had used about her, which in the novel she puts in the mouth...

EAR was married in KensingtonHenry Ernest Turner , general secretary of the Empire Press Union (which from 1950 was called the Commonwealth Press Union).

Sir Henry Turner , husband of EAR , drowned in the Thames after falling from a cabin cruiser.

EAR published Thames Portrait, illustrated with photographs taken by her husband .

Her husband 's photographs again adorned EAR 's The Spanish Town Papers, Some Sidelights on the American War of Independence: the papers document the comings and goings of sailing ships, an aspect of naval colonial history.
