Malcolm, Once again many thanks for the information. I have found a little more info about LT Horrocks, he was a native of my home village, Milnrow, Rochdale. His father ran a hardware shop in the village.
Prior to joining up he worked in the surveyors office of Blackpool council.
He was I beleive an instructor at Crail, and had been awarded his DSC for his part in an attack on a U-Boat whilst on convoy protection duty, hiding in the clouds for 20 minutes before attacking, he apparently took out the conning tower !! Many thanks Regards Russ.
