From 1957 Director of Education, Radnorshire. A friend writes: "His father F Cole was a Chief Stoker killed in action when his destroyer was sunk at Jutland. He was brought up in a mining community, and won a scholarship to university where he studied classics. He was an HO rating from 1939, serving in destroyers. Notably, he was an OS in HMS Walker when she sank U-99 (Otto Kretschmer). He was deeply impressed by, and spoke often of, the discipline of the German crew both when in the water and when held prisoner on board the Walker. He was commissioned in 1941 when it was recognised that he spoke Greek. He was then sent (via several short postings including a Polish cruiser) to Malta and then to join the Greek tank landing ship (LST) Lemnos, which had recently mutinied, as interpreter. Since he spoke Ancient Greek, it was some time before he could learn enough Demotic Greek to function! In this ship he served at the Anzio Landings. He was an admirer of the informal way that Greek ships were managed, and very positive about his experiences with the Hellenic Navy. After service in the Lemnos he became, for a short time, port commander of Patras, with the acting rank of Lt Cdr. After the war he was invited to join the Hellenic Navy as a language instructor at the Central Cadet School in Athens, and worked until retirement there. He retired in Aegina Island, Greece, and died there in February 2010. His decorations as received by me are: 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Italy Star; Defence Medal and Victory Medal. Please also note- his dress medals have the Battle Of Britain clasp for the 39-45 Star: this is not on the medal itself, but could have been detached."

He took part in army support operations along the North African coast, subsequently joining an MTB as 2iC based initially at Malta and then Sicily. After spending some time in hospital in Tunisia as a result of a slight wound, he rejoined his flotilla based at Bari, the heel of Italy. A surprise night attack on December 2 1943 by 105 Junkers and 88 bombers from Luftflotte 2 sank 28 ships resulting in 1,000 casualties. Petrol from a fractured bulk pipeline flooded into the harbour and explosions of two ammunition ships broke windows seven miles away but the worst effect was caused by the mustard gas bombs carried in the American Liberty ship John Harvey. Mixed with oil, the gas had a devastating effect on anyone swimming in the harbour; Collins was among one of those who leapt in to the water to help survivors and was badly affected with mysterious symptoms; he was appointed MBE for his bravery. 1945 he was able to rejoin the 28th Flotilla and commanding MTB 406 he took part in a series of fierce actions in the Adriatic chalking up a remarkable tally of sinking or immobilising 21 ships and was awarded the DSC and Bar. 30.11.1942 - (06.)1943 Commanding Officer, HM MGB 642 (motor gun boat) [HMS St Christopher (Coastal Forces establishment, Fort William)] 25.06.1943 - (08.)1944 Commanding Officer, HM MTB 243 (motor torpedo boat) 06.09.1943 - (06.)1944 Commanding Officer, HM MTB 243 (motor torpedo boat) (MBE) 16.06.1944 - (10.)1944 Commanding Officer, HM MTB 84 (motor torpedo boat) 01.11.1944 - (07.)1945 Commanding Officer, HM MTB 406 (motor torpedo boat) (DSC and Bar) 27.11.1945 - (04.1946) Flag Lieutenant to Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth [HMS Drake (RN base, Devonport)] Banker.
