On 18th August I gave another talk to the Probus Club of Royal Tunbridge Wells. I am a member, and former President, of that club and this was my fourth talk to them. The subject this time was “The Story of a Medal” covering my Dad’s service as a Second Officer and Chief Officer in the Merchant Navy in World War II on Gibraltar Convoys, Atlantic Convoys, Russian Convoys and D-Day Landings.

The talk went down very well and I raised some funds for The Mission to Seafarers, which both my parents fundraised for.
