Alfred Raymond Lowe, (born 14 June 1931) is a British recipient of the George Cross. Lowe joined the Royal Navy as a boy seaman in January 1947. After training at HMS Ganges, he joined the crew of the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious. On 17 October 1948, when aged 17, a boat he was on sank and Lowe risked his life to rescue a drowning midshipman. For his actions in the disaster, which led to 29 deaths, including that of the midshipman, Lowe was awarded the Albert Medal for Lifesaving. Lowe later served as a radio operator and diver and saw action in the Korean War aboard HMS Concord, receiving a mention in despatches. Lowe retired from the navy in 1959 as a petty officer. He later worked as a salesman in England and New Zealand. Lowe took up the offer, made to all living Albert Medal recipients in 1971, to exchange his Albert Medal for the George Cross. He now lives in New Zealand.
