Sadly, Bob Hargreaves died recently without my having a chance to speak to him but I have been contacted by his niece who put me in touch with Chris, his younger brother and carer, who posted the details of his brother's naval career on this Forum.

I have been sent Bob's service record, his photographs and published what I learned from these and by speaking to his brother Chris on my web site at: [www.holywellhousepublishing.co.uk]

His memories and those of Jack Bolton throw some new light on certain aspects of the time VENOMOUS was a Mediterranean escort.

Including a rather startling & shocking instance of cannibalism.
