Description: | Photocopy of a ts memoir (4pp), written in the late 1940s, recalling his service as a rating in HMS RENOWN (1st Battle Cruiser Squadron, Grand Fleet) at the time of the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet on 21 November 1918 and mentioning in particular the slight initial apprehension that the German surrender might prove to be a ruse and the 'unbelievable sight' when the dozens of German warships were escorted into the Firth of Forth.
