28 May 1923 – 20 February 2003 · 30 years in the Royal Navy
This is the diary of my late father's life in the Royal Navy. He never spoke in detail to me about his career, it was only after his death that I felt this website should be produced as a record based on the many photos he had kept and the diary he produced in 1988.
The following entries are presented chronologically, using his own words to describe his experiences in the British Royal Navy during World War Two and the Korean War.
