A rather slight and disappointing account of his naval career. He joined the RN in 1937 and in September 1939 was a midshipman in Kent on the China Station. In May 1940 he joined Encounter as a sublieutenant and sailed to the Far East. When she was sunk at the Battle of the Java Sea he was captured and spent the rest of the war as a POW in Indonesia. After the war he became a career diplomat. |
