| Entry Text: | RICHARDSON, Jack. Jack in the Navy: Memories of a Naval Chaplain. [vi], 184p., illus. Morpeth: Bridge Studios, 1988. ISBN: 0951263013.
Richardson was an engineer officer throughout the war but was ordained as a chaplain in 1948. These are jokey anecdotal memoirs. In September 1939 he was standing by Mooltan in Belfast while she was converted to an AMC, but he swiftly moved to Cyclops, depot ship of the 3rd Submarine Flotilla at Harwich. He then moved to Inveraray and Combined Operations. He finally had a series of shore jobs fitting out gun mountings. |
