This story was submitted to the Peoples War Site by Rod Sutton
on behalf of Graham Gane who collected it from Mrs. Lucy Gape,
nee. Mayne (the author) for his Pubs, People and Places. It has
been added with his permission. He fully understands the site's
terms and conditions.  On a hot summer's afternoon in 1940 two
enemy planes came over Falmouth Docks Yard and bombed the ships.
There was no warning. I was in the W.R.N.S., and had to complete
forms, being in the writers branch. The ships captains would
tell me how much fuel, provisions etc. was required for the
Russian convoys. T
