A member of the Reserve, he was called up in 1939. His war began with Sydney then served on each of the Scrap Iron destroyers in the Mediterranean in the worst of the battles, before being sunk in Waterhen. He joined Perth briefly late in 1941, then went for officer training. Then he joined the corvette Echuca and in early 1943 the survey corvette Shepparton where his specialised survey skills kept him until war's end. |
