So proud of Tom's 26 years Naval service. Going from Chase Farm Children's home to his first Naval training ship at the age of 14. He served through the Second World War and the Korean War. D-day he was serving in the invasion fleet on what was actually his 31st birthday! He served for most of his years as a deep sea diver and finished training other men to diver. Thanks to him and all those whom served!
