Convoy Service

The couldn’t do nothing without the Royal Navy because they had to land the soldiers over there, you know, and get all the food around. All the time I was convoy service. That’s taking ships out to the ports, as many as forty and fifty. Collect up the ships for the freight ships having them all in one place then they call for us, the guards, everyone team up see. They go all around Britain and drop ships off in the ports loaded with provisions, you know, everything. Every kind of thing they carried and the submarines had the intelligence people and I don’t know how they got the news but they got it, and they’d be in a certain place waiting for them, the German submarines.
