Douglas Lancelot Stuckey

An oral history interview with Douglas Lancelot Stuckey.  Interview Date 28/10/12

When Douglas joined up at a ‘Y entry’ in Charing Cross Road, he could only imagine that his naval journey would see him promoted to a temporary Acting Sub-Lieutenant Special Branch, based at the quayside at Eling Mill.  Douglas has many wonderful memories of his personal and naval life, with colourful anecdotes, particularly, a fascinating explanation of why Exbury was a central point in D-Day proceedings.
