        NONE of them knew the color of the sky. Their eyes glanced level, and

    were fastened upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves were of the

    hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the

    men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped

    and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust

    up in points like rocks.

       Many a man ought to have a bath-tub larger than the boat which here rode

    upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and

    tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small boat navigation.

       The cook squatted in the bottom and looked with both eyes at the six

    rolled over his fat forearms, and the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest

    Extended biography of Tony Crane

    Tony was born in Wrexham in October 1924, the son of an Army soldier. His father, a World War I veteran who had fought at the Somme, ended up as a Sgt Major PTI.

Tony completed his education at the village school, and then became an apprentice turner and fitter in Burton-on-Trent.

    He initially volunteered for RAF aircrew but was told there was a two year waiting list and subsequently enlisted at Colchester in late 1942 joining the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry. After basic training he joined their 1st Battalion.
