Able Sea. Alec William George "Blondie" Penstone
Royal Navy
from:Eastmount Lodge
I served as an ASDIC operator on the Arctic convoy runs to and from Murmansk and at Normandy. I was awarded the Ushakov Medal (USSR). Two days after my marriage 74 years ago, I left for the Far East and was at the Japanese signing of the surrender of Hong Kong. I returned to UK 14 months later. Our one and only child, a daughter, was born 17 years after our wedding.
