He had a busy war, serving with Birmingham in Norway before moving on to Prince of Wales in which he served during the Bismarck chase and going with her to the Far East. After surviving her sinking he briefly transferred to the then refitting Glasgow. He moved to a spell at the Signals School then to the staff of Force 26 at Plymouth, leading to a period of violent action in sweeps off the French Coast. After this he joined the staff planning the occupation of Germany. |
