Sir Alan Peacock served with the Y Service, which intercepted enemy signals at sea. He was called up in 1942 from university and was drafted for Intelligence work because of his knowledge of German. He served on Woolston on East Coast convoys before going to King Alfred for officer training. Assigned to the staff of Captain (D) Plymouth, he was almost immediately wounded on Limbourne in a disastrous Tunnel operation in the Channel. After survivor's leave he was posted to work with Arctic convoys and finally to the occupying forces in Germany. |
