About the contributor

My Grandfather [Pop] related various exploits to us as we grew up, after we discovered his collection of photographs, mainly taken aboard HMS Indomitable. From the late 1990's to his passing in 2004 I wrote down or recorded these memories. These were told to me as they came to mind, so I have tried to arrange them in chronological order. I was aware during this exercise that in silent pauses and facial expression much was censored, still protecting us.
