" 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 .
