Description
My Dad, Henry Jeffries, served 22 years in the Royal Navy and during WW2 spent most of that time at sea on escort duty in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Arctic Oceans. As a result my first memory of him is in 1945, when I was six. He still had two years to serve and was posted to Admiral "Hooky" Walkers staff( who really had a hook in place of his arm) as his batman in the city of Hamburgh with the Occupation Forces and a relative life of ease after his exemplary war service. The large house in which the Admiral and his staff were billeted was a senior ex-Nazi's equipped with a large swimming pool, central heating and triple glazing while my Mum and us two children lived in a pre-fab built by the Yanks on the outskirts of bombed out Plymouth, but at least we had a fridge but nothing to put in it!
