| Entry Text: | CORSON, P. F. R. Call the Middle Watch. xii, 329p., illus. Bishop Auckland: Pentland, 1997. ISBN: 1858214661.
Two generations of naval history covering the period 1905–1963. The son and author went through Dartmouth in the middle of the war and in 1944 joined Valiant in Ceylon. After her drydock accident he joined Queen Elizabeth which promptly had a two month refit in Durban. In February 1945 after his Seamanship Board, he joined the destroyer Norman, which moved to Sydney and in April joined the BPF, often with the replenishment group. She returned to Sydney in June and Corson went back to the UK for his promotion course. The interesting tale continues with battles from Borneo to the Cod War. |
