He joined Dartmouth in May 1940 and this is in essence his midshipman's diary. In January 1944 he joined Duke of York with the Home Fleet, mainly engaged in covering or attacking Tirpitz. That September he moved to the cruiser Orion based in Athens and involved in the Greek Civil War. In April 1945 he moved to the destroyer Musketeer based on Toulon then theminesweeper Circe based on Genoafor his small ship time. In mid-July 1945 he returned to the UK.
