Luck on My Side
The Diaries & Reflections of a Young Wartime Sailor 1939–1945
About the Book
Sir John Palmer was at sea for virtually the entire war serving in three ships. During this time he kept a secret diary of events and his reactions and emotions which we are now proud to publish. This book vividly describes the author's many wartime exploits.
Highlights
For the worst period of the Battle of the Atlantic, he was on convoy protection duty in the Corvette HMS Clematis and recalls the famous Christmas Day action against the mighty German battle cruiser Hipper.
About the Author
Sadly Sir John died very recently, after a most distinguished life.
