Starting in November 1942, with the submarine and her crew delivering 12 Royal Marines to 10 miles off the coast of France and their ever more dangerous War Patrols that include the sinking of 3 German U-boats while protecting the Arctic Convoys. For his outstanding courage, enterprise and skill he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by King George VI at Buckingham Palace.
Eleven-year-old Eve Jackson lives through German bombings in Liverpool and Crewe. Living on rations, receiving an unfair beating and being stricken with a paralyzing illness. Her family waiting on the ever-present air raid warnings.
