An extremely cool and courageous man, quiet and cheerful, for whom both Officers and crew have a very high regard.’ John Thomas Valentine, who was from Hartlepool, was decorated for services in the North Sea in M.T.B. 232 and received his D.S.M. at an investiture at Buckingham Palace in November 1944. Few men could boast of four years continuous service in M.T.Bs. On surface, therefore, long overdue recognition. SOLD
