A sailor's war

About this book

As soon as the author reached his eighteenth birthday, he left his reserved occupation on a farm and enlisted. He trained as an asdic operator and joined the warship HMS London, running the gauntlet of U-boats and divebombers to escort vital supply ships to Malta. From this vivid account we read how it was to live through those times.
