Gordon French (Froggy)
This book is truly a treasure, written by
"Froggy" who served aboard HMS
Exmouth for over three years, leaving her just two weeks prior to her loss.
He lives in Ringwood, Hampshire, and even today, although in his 80's,
displays the strongest affinity with his shipmates of over 60 years ago.
This book is dedicated
"To the officers and men of HMS Exmouth who so
gallantly gave their lives in the second world war. Without their wit and
good humour to remember them by, this book would never have been written"
This is the inscription printed in the front of this book of some 40 verses,
each accompanied by a Spike Milligan type sketch.
Copies are available at £5.75 each, which includes postage & packaging, from
David Ellis,54 Redhouse Park Gardens, Gosport, Hants PO12 3EQ.
Please enclose your name and address along with a cheque made payable to
"The HMS Exmouth 1940 Association".
Froggy has generously donated this limited edition of books, and all the
money received monies will be used in charitable donations made by the Exmouth Assoc.
