He joined the RCN as a cadet in 1934. By 1939 he was serving on Restigouche but in summer 1940 joined Ottawa, which soon transferred to the UK. He was appointed to the 1941 Long Course at Excellent. After a period as Gunnery Officer at Halifax he was appointed First of the new Tribal Iroquois, which commissioned in November 1942. She was not a happy ship and famously mutinied in July 1943. After a busy time, in April 1944 he transferred to Ontario as Gunnery Officer, although she did not complete until 1945, when he was quickly recalled to Ottawa. An enjoyable and engaging account with some interesting perspectives. |
