| Entry Text: | GARROD, A. E. Port After Stormy Seas: A Sailor's Tale. 164p. London: Minerva, 1996. ISBN: 1858639123.
In 1939 Garrod was at a naval training school and in 1940 he joined up as a Boy Seaman. Training in the Isle of Man was followed by a circuitous journey to join Rodney in mid-1941 to see service with the Home Fleet and Force H. In November 1941 he was transferred for Combined Operations training and in mid 1943 went to the United States to help take over LCI 297. The rest of the war was spent in the Mediterranean with invasions and special operations. A light tale full of drink, sex, and class warfare. |
