His daughter writes: "My father joined the RN in 1940, saw service in the North Atlantic before being sent to HMS King Alfred at Brighton.
He was based in Cardiff in 1942 as a Lieutenant when I was born there and he went to the Far East in 1943. His war medals include the Burma Star and he was awarded the MBE but I do not know why. In 1946 he was a Lieutenant Commander in the process of transferring to the RN when he lost his arm when a staff car he was travelling in in Plymouth was struck by a lorry. He was invalided out."

A daughter wrties: "Signed up and started training in May 1940 at HMS Royal Arthur and HMS Ganges. Assigned to HMS Hood July 1940 at Scapa Flow. Promoted to Able Seaman. He leaves the Hood on May 19th 1941 along with 12 other ratings who are candidates to appear before a selection Board for a commission to become an officer. The day after he arrives in Portsmouth, HMS Hood is sunk by the German ship, the Bismarck, with the loss of 1415 men. They became known as the Lucky 13. He passes the selection board and trains at Lancing College and King Alfred, Brighton and passes out as a Sub- Lieutenant of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in August 1941. He asks for an appointment on one of the smaller ships and volunteers for Coastal Forces. The training base is at Fort William in Inverness-shire. His first appointment there is as a First Lieutenant on Motor Launch (ML) 346. His job is to escort convoys, up and down the East coast between the Thames estuary and Flamborough Head, fight off any E boats and pick up any survivors from sunken Merchant Ships. August 1942 is the first time they have “a really good crack at the enemy” when they get a message to report to Newhaven to prepare for the Dieppe raid. His job on that day is to cover the landing of 400 men on the eastern flank at Petit Berneval. They are to destroy the gun batteries there, that command the entrance to Dieppe harbour. In fact of the 160 men that they manage to land, only 19 are brought back. Along with others he is Mentioned in Despatches in the London Gazette of 2nd October 1942 under the heading “For gallantry, daring and skill in the combined attack on Dieppe” and receives the Oak Leaves.In 1942 he is assigned to ML549 and by 1945 he has command of three ships and is the Senior Officer of two flotillas. In Feb 1945 he is posted to ML256 and sent to Freetown in Sierra Leone, West Africa where he is finally released from war service in May 1946."
