π¨BREAKING: Alec Penstone WW2 veteran dies aged 101.
Born in Tottenham, London, on 23 April 1925, Alec was just 15 when war broke out.
He volunteered as a part-time air raid precautions messenger during the Blitz, then joined the Royal Navy in 1943.
he trained as a Submarine Detector (ASDIC/sonar operator) in 1943, choosing the role for the extra nine pence pay.
Aboard escort carrier HMS Campania, he worked three decks down on constant action stations, listening through headphones for the sounds of U-boats, torpedoes, and mines in the harsh Atlantic and Arctic seas.
A proud face at every Remembrance Sunday, Alec later captured the worldβs attention with his heartbreaking honesty: βThis is not the country I fought for.β
From the Greatest Generation that stared down tyranny with raw courage thank you, Alec.
You gave everything.

I'm going completely clean shaven for the first time in 17 years to try to raise money for a great charity where we have a family member, a young child who suffers from this, if you could spare a few pennies we would be greatful. Please retweet
