After darkness light : the memoirs of a boy seaman

"After Darkness Light - the motto of the Royal Navy Cruiser HMS Aurora - is a book about the author's years of service, starting as a Boy Seaman at the age of 16 and eventually retiring as a Lieutenant R.N. in 1977 after an eventful career. The book details the tours of operations in which the author served - from the Arctic Circle to Operation Torch - from the Mediterranean to the Pacific and China. After a brief spell at home, Harry was sent to Korea, and on his return to the UK he became involved with the recruitment of young men (no longer called 'Boys' but 'Juniors') for training at HMS Ganges, many of whom went on to become successful in their careers."--Provided by the publisher.
