# Mr. R. Coates-Walker writes: "In 1945 I left Trusty also with (officers and 90
ratings) for Bergen (Norway) to assist in taking over the German submarines
there. We then spent a very happy month learning about and taking over the type
21 based there U3515, intelligence discovered they were going to scuttle it if
taking back under escort. We sailed it to Lisahally where the enthusiastic
Americans, in the course of unofficially attempting to take our voltage
selection switch, set the submarine on fire. She was burned out." |

Joined the RNVR as a signalman 1938
then commissioned. His first ship the anti-submarine trawler Amethyst struck a
mine in the Thames estuary and sank, survivors were briefly arrested under
suspicion of being German; he then served briefly in Primula, which was severely
damaged following a collision during convoy duties. 1941 he was mentioned in
despatches during a battle between the trawler Tourmaline and enemy E-boats, but
was wounded two weeks later when sunk by German aircraft. He was navigating
officer of trawler Lady Shirley, when she attacked and sank U-111; the 45
rescued German prisoners were landed in Gibraltar. Waller was sent to hospital
for burst ear drums, where he was when Lady Shirley was sunk on her next patrol
and lost with all hands. 1944 he survived when the anti-submarine whaler
Southern Pride was grounded and lost off Freetown, Sierra Leone. He completed
his active service in 1946 having served in four vessels that sank and one that
was crippled. Post war he continued in the RNVR and supplementary reserve and
upon amalgamation in the RNR retired at 60; he continued in the Royal Naval
Auxiliary Service, finally leaving at 65. He also served as an auxiliary
coastguard for 16 years at Lowestoft and Southwold and was awarded the Volunteer
Reserve Decoration |
