Happy anecdotal memories of a full war. He began as a midshipman in the AMC Worcestershire on the Northern Patrol. He then joined the corvette Auricula and served at Freetown and in the assault on Madagascar in which she was sunk. Next came the destroyer Griffin serving with the Eastern Fleet, detached to the Mediterranean for convoy duty and then escorting Ramillies to New York. Christmas 1942 was spent at home then came a posting to Moyola and North Atlantic and Gibraltar convoys. Convoy SL139 is described in some detail. In mid-1944 he joined Deveron which joined the Eastern Fleet. Finally he joined the repair ship Gombroon, which also acted as HQ for the Burma Coast Escort Force. |
