- ↑ Commander, RNR. Mary Billot writes that he first went to sea as an officer cadet on H.M.S. Worcester, the Thames Nautical Training College. He joined the Port Line, gaining his Master`s ticket in 1935, when he moved to the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. As an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve, he was mobilised in 1939 and assigned as gunnery officer to H.M.S. Worcestershire, an armed merchant cruiser. Promoted to Lieutenant-Commander in 1940, he was given command of H.M.S. Hartland, on convoy escort duties. With her sister ship H.M.S. Walney, Hartland was given the task of ramming the boom at Oran, prior to the North African landings in November 1942. Walney was sunk but Hartland, repeatedly hit by point-blank fire, which blinded Commander Billot in one eye, smashed a shoulder and caused him to receive a bullet in the leg, rammed the boom successfully as Billot, on hands and knees, said "I am going through", ordering full speed ahead. Officers and crew, including the wounded, were given the command to abandon ship, before Billot finally lowered himself painfully by his one good arm into one of the ship`s boats. They were then captured by the Vichy French and imprisonned, before being released by advancing United States forces. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) in 1943 for his "outstanding bravery and enterprise..". His injuries prevented him from receiving a further command, but he was naval control service officer (Ramsgate) until 1947. After the war, he rejoined Canadian Pacific Steamships, eventually becoming the company`s Marine Superintendent, Liverpool: Mary Billot, op. cit.
