he trained as a Submarine Detector (ASDIC/sonar operator) in 1943, choosing the role for the extra nine pence pay.

A proud face at every Remembrance Sunday, Alec later captured the world’s attention with his heartbreaking honesty: “This is not the country I fought for.”
From the Greatest Generation that stared down tyranny with raw courage thank you, Alec.
You gave everything.
