Macintyre was a leading figure in the battle of the Atlantic. After brief service on Venomous in the Channel, he commissioned Hesperus and fought in Norway, before moving to the Atlantic. He then took over the 5EG in Walker in March 1941. After a short spell ashore in Argentia, he rejoined Hesperus in mid-1942, now leading escort group B2. In March 1944 he moved to Bickerton and a newly formed 5EG. She was eventually sunk in the Arctic in 1944 in a fleet operation against Tirpitz. This proved the end of his sea-going career. |
