My name is Arthur Leon Pullen, born July 31st 1919 in Strabane, Northern Ireland.

I joined the navy in 1939 as an ordinary seaman. I was stationed on Northern Patrol on HMS Birmingham from 1940 and was made Sub-Lt. Rnvr.

After initial training I was sent to the middle east to join LCTA17 on which I served on the famous Tobruk Ferry 1941. During this year I also took part in the evacuation of Crete on board HMS Orion.
