HERE AND THERE ffflte following is a letter written by Midshipman R. A. Creery, R.C.N. l1937'1940l who,-at the time of writing, was on H.M.S. Kingston., ' - I was in this recent Malta convoy which was attacked by an Iti Battleship of the Veneto class and six cruisers, two heavy, two light, with a destroyer flotilla thrown in. The first action we received was soon after breakfast, when torpedofbombers were sighted, and they continued to attack in ones, twos, thrces and up to sixes, from all angles for the remainder of the day. I was closed up at B 4.7 Gun from half past eight in the morning till half past eight at night. After lunch divefbombers, Ju. 88, and highflevel bombers and lowflevel bombers attacked in waves with Savoia and Junkers torpedofbombers to helpg the sky was continually filled with puffs of smoke and the ominous busyfbee hum of torpedofbombers, the whine of divefhombers, the crash and thunder of an intense barrage. The day had dawned bright and with some medium height clouds and a rising sea which rose steadily with time and which made the accurate gunfire all the more praiseworthyg as soon as the blighters' tried to pierce the screen we all let fly, and not one got through for an effective attack, one even dropped his torpedo while going away! The clouds made the high and low bombers difficult to spot, but the barrage was good and not one hit was obtained during the whole day, though there were several near misses. At two o'clock the engines began to throb and we could feel the ship pulsating with the increasing speed, simultaneously came the order Change to Low Angle-S.A.P. on the trays, the battle ensign broke from the foremast head and the four cruisers and their des' troyer flotillas sped away to the north spreading a great black smoke screen to cover the convoy. We were one of the last ships to come round the smoke screen into battle, and it was a sight. The cruisers to starboard still making smoke and firing rapid salvoes, brilliant orange flashes silhouetted against the darkness, and fountains of water were rising up as the Iti's 8 and 6 shells splashed just astern, just ahead, just to right or leftg I saw a cruiser get hit, but damage apparently ,was not serious as the guns continued to fire and there was no conflagration. We chased them off, setting one cruiser seriously afire amid' ships, the range was still too great for the destroyers. The fleet then came hack towards the convoy and relaid the smoke screen, but it was soon apparent that the Iti's had returned and great geysers of sea proclaimed 15 shells. It was a sight I shall never forget, the grey destroyers forging through the rough sea with spray flying over guns and bridge, cascading down lifting foc'sles, black swirling smoke, blue sky and white clouds, camouflaged cruisers racing up astern keeling with each orange salvo and dirty brown puff of cordite, 15 , 8 and 6 projies spouting water all about us-some 15'
