'I was always attracted to the idea of being at sea. I liked the
thought of it. The RAF was new and unknown, the Navy always
appealed to me.' This was the simple response my grandfather gave
me when asked why he enrolled in the Merchant Navy in 1941. He was
dispatched on his first voyage in September of that year, aged only
eighteen, and spent a further five years at sea. His answer paints
a picture of a young adolescent; eager and naA-ve. A picture of a
teenager who had an idealistic, almost romantic, depiction of naval
life. It was a powerful relationship he had with the navy. It was
based on a genuine fondness for the ocean, for the travel and for
the force. Now today - aged 93 - the same fondness remains, albeit
in a less powerful sense.
