A history in 26 parts
"There wasn't one of us without a prayer for those poor blighters in the burning ship. But convoys make you selfish, The ship next to yours may go up and you're sorry for the poor devils in her, but its your own old tub that matters.
Sometimes you may hate the sight of her dirty hull, but getting her into port is your one aim in life."
