His son writes: "My father joined the Royal Navy
in 1937. His first ship was HMS Bedouin. He left her and was sent to the USA to
serve aboard the USS Phillips, re-named HMS Lancaster, one of the 50 ships that
the USA sold to the UK. After that he went into Combined Operations, took part
in the Lofoten Isles and Vaagso Raids in Norway. Later to Madagascar and
Operation Ironclad, after that via India to Burma. Captured then escaped.
Hospitalised back to the UK but en route was declared fit (!) and took part in
the Anzio landings. After the war was posted to RN D/F station at Daniels Head,
Bermuda. After that was discharged and joined ACSWS (Admiralty Civilian Shore
Wireless Service) which was part of what we now know as GCHQ. Retired in the
1980’s and passed away 11 February 2006. I obtained his amateur call sign G4SKS
and every year from 2007 onwards, I operate the callsign from 1st Feb (birthday)
until 11th Feb (his death)." |
|
Geoffrey Sanders in "Soldier, sailor" (1947)
on the capture of Diego Suarez (Madagascar): "On the 7th May [1942] orders were
received for one Forward Observation Officer (FOO) party and one Royal Artillery
Observation Post (O.P.) party to establish an O.P. for observation on Orangea
and also to capture a supposed coastal defence battery on the Cape, should it
exist. Knight, with Telegraphists
Bradshaw and Shaw, armed with captured
carbines and Mills grenades, formed the FOO party. Captain Dibden was in charge
of the other O.P. party, whose weapons were a bren gun, two tommy guns and
rifles. The two parties numbered twelve and they were given three bren carriers
by 19th Battery. The journey was very hard going. The parties found that a track
marked on the map was more or less fictitious, and when they came to the jungle,
the rate of advance was approximately two miles per hour. Eventually they
emerged from the jungle, only to encounter very bad rocks. The first carrier
promptly shed a track. The second jammed its Bendix drive, and the third, trying
to pull the others out, lost a track, too. A message was sent to the Commander
Royal Artillery (CRA) saying the parties were temporarily immobile. The answer
came back telling them to push on, on foot if they could not repair their
vehicles. The distance was about fifteen miles, and the idea of walking had
little appeal. Dibden started mending the carriers while Knight and
Bradshaw
considered ways and means of going by boat.
Bradshaw
thought he could see one still on the sloop engaged the previous day and offered
to swim out, but Knight dissuaded him because of sharks.
Bradshaw
next tried to find a native canoe. He returned ten minutes later, having
discovered an Admiral's barge, and he brought with him three Frenchmen belonging
to the sloop. One was the Surgeon Lieutenant who, when asked how the battle had
gone with him, said the sloop had originally been bombed without effect, then
torpedo bombed −still no damage− and then machine-gunned from the air. This has
killed quite a number, about thirty, he thought. The Field gunners had hit her
twice and killed twenty men, but what had finished her, he said, was a cruiser
in Courrier Bay using aircraft spotting. The "cruiser", of course, was
[destroyer] Laforey and the "aeroplane" Marsh's and Knight's parties. The
barge was well stocked with wine, chocolate, cigarettes, ham, etc. and was
eventually floated by the Commandos −the O.P. parties could not move her. Dibden
then got a message to return home, so the FOO party set off on foot with the
prisoners. The going was hard, the distance was long and they got in about 1
a.m. The carriers turned up next morning, all on the road again." |

rescue
trawlers crew air attack *
|
* The steam trawler, when in company with two
other trawlers, was attacked by enemy aircraft on two occasions and a spirited
defence was put up. On the second occasion, one of the other trawlers was hit
and sunk. Skipper Duffin immediately went to the rescue, picked up all the
crew and later landed them safely. He displayed great courage in these and
five other attacks which have been made on his ship. He has always succeeded
in beating off the enemy and this is due in no small measure to his courage,
example and determination.

[As a L/Stoker on board Belfast on December
26 1943 in the Battle of North Cape, the action that sank the Scharnhorst, he
was at action stations on the port main diesel generator on his own for 12
hours. During the action the cooling water for the engine started to fail and
overheat, so he went to the passage above and connected a canvas hose to a
fire-main and ran it down to connect it directly to the diesel cooling system;
he was later told that his actions had kept a gun turret in action and was
awarded the DSM. HMS Belfast Association.] |

* This Rating displayed untiring efforts and
prompt action in risking his own life in effecting the rescue of survivors
from HMCS Clayoquot [a Bangor Class Minesweeper which was torpedoed by U-806
off Halifax]. His personal disregard of his own life in going over the side
to assist survivors on board was undoubtedly instrumental in saving the
lives of men immersed in very cold water. |

* The ship, sailing alone, was torpedoed.
Almost immediately the engine-room was flooded and the engines stopped. When
a second torpedo hit her the master ordered away boats with women, children,
and some of the male passengers. Half an hour later a third torpedo struck
the vessel, which began to settle rapidly, and the master decided to abandon
ship. The master used the ship's motor-boat as a mark boat and wireless
messages were sent. As a result a rescue ship picked up the survivors the
next day. Captain Moore's judgment and skill were of a high order. It was
due to his organization and leadership that, of the persons on board, only
four, killed by the explosion of the first torpedo, were lost. |

Joined
the Navy as Signal Boy in 1931. From 1933- 1935 he saw service on HMS Exeter
(Home Fleet) and HMS Cape Town – two years on China Station. In 1937 Les
transferred to the Fleet Air Arm as Telegraphist Air Gunner (TAG) and after
training he served in 811 Swordfish Squadron on HMS Furious. In 941 he joined
825 Squadron on HMS Victorious flying Swordfish, and with Lt. Gick attacked
the Bismarck - obtaining a hit, for which Les was awarded the DSM. Later in
1941 he joined HMS Ark Royal on Mediterranean Convoys before she was sunk.
825 Squadron was reformed in 1942 to carry our mine-laying duties in channel
ports and to escort HMS Avenger to Russian Convoy PQ18. In 1944 Les
commissioned the new light fleet carrier HMS Glory in Belfast as the ships
Chief TAG, before sailing to join the Pacific Fleet. He retired from the navy
in 1945 to join British European Airways as a Flight Radio Officer. In 1946 he
helped to form the Telegraphist Air Gunners Association, whereupon he was
elected Chairman, later to become President and subsequently awarded an MBE.

* After having survived one enemy attack, the ship
[SS Clan Macpherson], sailing in convoy, was torpedoed in darkness. She was severely damaged
and orders for abandonment were given. All the crew got away and laid off in
the boats. Some hours later, as the vessel was still afloat, she was
re-boarded and efforts were made to get her to port. A party of volunteers
went into the shelter deck to build up bags of cargo in an attempt to make a
temporary bulkhead. For ninety minutes they worked below with the water up to
their knees, in circumstances of grave danger. Shortly afterwards/however, the
bulkhead collapsed and the ship, which suddenly began to settle forward, sank
within five minutes. Four of the crew were trapped below and lost their lives,
but the remainder were picked up shortly afterwards. Apprentice Wehner and
Deck Serang Mohomed X Abdulla displayed outstanding courage and leadership
throughout and played a conspicupus part in the efforts to save the ship from
further flooding. Both set a splendid example by their fearless devotion to
duty.
