| Entry Text: | WHITE, J. R. S. HMS Norfolk and Other Ships 1940–46: The Wartime Diary of a Dental Officer. 104p., illus. Leeds: Fractal, 1995. ISBN: 1870735056.
A Yorkshire dentist, he volunteered in 1939 and served in Portsmouth Barracks and the Marine Depot at Lympstone. He also spent time at the Stokers training establishment and on the hospital ship Aorangi. But the core of the book is the 20 months spent on Norfolk from August 1941 to May 1943 when she saw action from the Arctic to the Mediterranean. Rather dry. |
