* indexed, but not listed as such
His son writes: "I believe that my father had an ongoing relationship with HMS
Vernon, throughout the war, with the possible exception of his time on
Indomitable. One reason for this is that I do have a carbon copy of a report
dated 26th May 1941 from The Electrical Officer 10th Corvette Group (him) to The
Captain of HMS Vernon, about magnetic minesweeping activities by the Group in
Benghazi & Tobruk, and it is interesting to note that Peony had 5 officers in
her ships company, rather than the usual 4 of a Flower Class Corvette. As the
Navy List shows he officially left Peony in May and she was leased to the
Hellenic Navy on 24th June 1942. From April to August 1942, my mother addressed
her postcards etc to him at Captain Local Patrol, HMS Nile c/o G.P.O. London EC1
(Address1). In the period from April to June, Address 1 was crossed out, and the
cards were re-addressed c/o D/G Office, Navy House, Port Said (Address 2). In
turn the Address 2 was crossed out and the cards have another address c/o D/G
Office, Alexandria Dockyard (Address 3). The last card with amended addresses,
happens to be dated 24th June 1942!! Between June 24th and August, Address 1
remained unaltered!! The three 10th Group boats had their LL Sweeps removed
before being leased to the Hellenic Navy, and it would not surprise me if he
wasn't supervising the removal and possible reinstallation of the sweeps in
other ships. He was home on leave in the UK by the end of August 42." |
