Hi all
I have been sent the following by Angela Young, the Grand-daughter of a PLA tug skipper awarded the George Medal for his exploits in the docks during the Blitz of WW2. I stress that i have not read the book myself yet, although a copy is on its way and may well comment later, but it may be of interest to some of you.
