“Talking of signalling ... We’d arrived at a point where the convoy was to split up and go to different ports. There were two corvettes with us and we didn’t know whose turn it was to take a certain portion. We signalled both of them telling them this. The reply came back from one of them quoting a chapter and verse of the Bible. We looked it up and found it read like this: ‘And the Lord said, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I. Send me."—Lieutenant W. Jackson, R.A.N.V.R., interviewed at the 8.8. C. microphone.
