He could not read the book only once.

He tells us: “I was taken by R.N. submarine for secret raid(s) on the French coast late in 1942. Later I was tortured by British Marines in Scotland (along with one other Canadian) thinking at the time, to keep us quiet.) all ordered by Louis Mountbatten. I had hoped to get confirmation of such journeys. The British seem unwilling to talk. I emphasize I was a member of the Allied (Canadian) Armed Forces. On my second trip, the R.N. sub crew were cruel and abusive to us.”
