" When I hit The Sea and came to My Senses I managed to swim to A Life raft and climb aboard to join another six or seven survivors.
" After a long two hours I was picked up by an American motor Torpedo Boat and taken to Cherbourg Harbour And Then on to The American field hospital about three Miles Away .
" Nobody registered my name, rank or ship. After a cursory examination for hypothermia and some food I was discharged The Next morning.
" No fresh clothes were offered and I walked barefoot back to the harbour wearing an oil-stained jersey.
" Unknown to me a priority telegram dated 30 December 1944 had been sent to My Mother in Lisburn but was opened by My Father .
" It read: 'Deeply regret to inform you that your son H M Murphy has been reported missing presumed killed On War service. '"
