Summary:
"This is a true
story
of a young
boy
with a burning desire to join the
Royal
Navy
, and
who
had made plans to enter the training ship HMS Conway as a Naval Cadet at the
age
of
fifteen
. Reluctant to allow their son to travel to Britain after the outbreak of
World
War
II
, his parents wanted him to continue his education in Canada and enter the
Canadian
Navy
on attaining the
age
of seventeen. When this was not possible, they reluctantly allowed him to leave home and pursue his original dream. What follows after he left home in early 1941 and the unorthodox manner in which he joined 'The
Grey
Funnel
Line
' makes interesting reading."--From publisher.
