Love joined up in 1936 and by 1939 was in Inglefield which joined the Home Fleet soon after the start of the war. She served in the Norwegian Campaign and on Operation Menace. In 1942 he transferred briefly to USS Sterett before returning to Inglefield and the Arctic. In 1943 he did a spell in several troopships. Early in 1945 he joined Palomares and soon headed for the Pacific, but had got no further than Ceylon by war's end. Not the liveliest of tales. |
