Captain Rory O'Conor was an outstanding young officer whose career was tragically cut short when Neptune was sunk in a minefield off Tripoli in 1941. He had begun the war in the Plans Division of the Admiralty and at age 37 was by far the youngest promotion to Captain of his time. This biography by his niece is based on naval records, interviews and his voluminous correspondence. |
