A biography. Having served in the RNVR, he was mobilised as a signalman in 1939 and posted to Adventure. When she was mined in November 1939 he was next posted to a minesweeping trawler at Scapa. He soon became a CW candidate and spent the rest of the war as an officer in trawlers and travelling from Spitsbergen to the Caribbean. An enjoyable account.
