CARACTACUS

A moment in an Island’s history.

We live in the moment, especially now.

We do a great disservice to our ancestors,

wherever we are on this beautiful planet,

when we ignore them.

HMS Prince of Wales 1941

Dedicated to my very dear friends Anthony Smith, Submariner RN Rtd and his Wife Jamie Smith RN Rtd and to all the friends with whom they served on board HM Submarines and HMS Liverpool respectively. It is true to say that we know only too well the importance of seeing the White Ensign full hoisted and riding the Winds at Sea or otherwise in Safe Haven
