I was in the M.N. before joining the RAF and ended up in Holland in April 1940 on the S.S.St.Denis sailing out of Harwich.
Our purpose was to bring out British Nationals.
However, on May 10th the Germans changed our plans and after four days of hell, we managed to return to England on the destroyer HMS Vivien. I was eighteen on May 17th. There is much more detail to my story and I would like to expand on the above, but at 82 I have to watch the pennies.
