`This story has been submitted by Margaret Payne of the Lancashire 成人快手 Guard on behalf of Eric Clayton and has been added to the site with his permission.

I was in a mine-sweeping flotilla based at Mulberry Harbour in Normandy, France, just after the D-Day landings. We were based there off the French coast for nine months before being recalled to our naval base in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

We were then sent in a naval party for training in Ceylon and India in Deolally (there are actually two mental sanatoriums there that derive their name from this place when we refer to someone being mentally upset!)

We did a month鈥檚 commando training around the hills of Deolally. After this training we were put aboard a troopship with the Ghurkhas and we landed the Ghurkhas at Port Sweatnenhan, Malaysia. At this time, the Japanese were still there in occupation. Shortly afterwards, the H-bombs were dropped over Japan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, which caused the Japanese to capitulate.
