A memoir written by Temporary Surgeon Lieutenant George R Gayman RCNVR, Medical Officer, HMS Wager (1944-45)

This is my father's journal, transcribed from his handwritten notebook. Unfortunately he never described the grizzly bits of war, but only the escapades that the crew got into. It makes for a good read though.
