Entry Text: | WOODROOFFE, Thomas. In Good Company. 229p. London: Faber, 1947.
A retired Lt. Commander, the author was recalled in 1939 and spent some time based at Scapa as captain of the A/S trawler Coventry City. He then moved to the Admiralty as a Naval Observer and recalls various trips: a Malta convoy in Edinburgh, on Somali for a raid on the Lofotens, an aborted Commando raid on Bayonne, on Bleasdale at Dieppe, with convoy KMF1 for TORCH, on the command ship Largs, and finally the fall of Germany. |
