Sailor at War: on the Greenland Patrol - WWII

This a memoir of my experiences of WW II from boot camp, to becoming a Morse Code radio operator on board a 240' highly armed convoy escort and anti-submarine vessel with duty on the North Atlantic.

The experiences of hardships and hazards of escorting troop ships, merchant vessels and fuel tankers to Newfoundland and Greenland during the winter of 1944-45 included my special duties monitoring German U boat transmissions to reveal their presence on the surface. U boats remained a constant threat as we followed the North Atlantic routes. This is part of the story of the Greenland Patrol.
