Almost no one knows that Admiral Fletcher was first married to a German woman, Krupp, of the famous munitions family. He had one daughter and 2 sons by her before quietly divorcing her at th outbreak of WW1. The 2 sons enlisted in the Canadian forces in WW2 and were both lost. The daughter married a Navy enlisted man which drew the ire of the Admiral. I have personally spoken to the daughter and her son-in-law served under me in the navy,.The Fletchers were both fiends on my in-laws and my mother-in-law served with the 2nd wife, Martha in the Charles County Garden Club. My in-laws were frequent guest at Araby, the home of the Fletchers and knew nothing of the first marriage. Fletchers first wife dissappeared in Germany during WW2. The daughter drew a striking resemblance to her father in complexion and color of hair.
