WINGFIELD, Mervyn. Wingfield at War (The British Navy at War and Peace, Volume 1). xi, 179p., illus., index. Dunbeath: Whittles, 2012. ISBN: 9781849950640.

The autobiography of a heroic but little known officer, originally written in 1982-3 for his family. About half covers his very active wartime career. He began the war in the Indian Ocean, returned to the UK to successfully take his Perisher course, then served in Umpire, Sturgeon and Taurus in the North Sea, Arctic, Mediterranean and was the first submariner to sink a Japanese submarine. An excellent tale well told.
