BROWN, Jimmy. Harry Tate's Navy: One Man's Story of the Royal Naval Patrol Service. [iv], 45p., illus. Inverurie: author, 1994. ISBN: 0952270617.

Brown joined as a Telegraphist in 1943. He describes the setting up of HMS Europa - Sparrow's Nest - at Lowestoft and his own training there. He joined HMS Northern Isles at Durban and was based there until she ran aground and sank in early 1945. He then moved to HMS Le Tiger in Durban until she returned to the UK in late 1945. He was demobbed in March 1946. A pawky irreverent view.
