From there we then deployed to Afghanistan.

- Well you've been through quite a lot son, haven't you?

- The Second World War, my flotilla was the third flotilla.

We took part in the North African Campaign.

And then we went on to the invasion of Sicily

We went for 6 weeks in the jungle training.

That was a six month tour, turned into a seven month tour.

I think I fought that hard, I was fighting an enemy so much,

- Well we fought the Germans to win the war.
