The Royal Navy & Me (ePub)

I was born in Belfast,Northern Ireland on the 15th January 1939 the last of six children. My mother died on Boxing day the same year and the world was at war again. The job of looking after me fell to Lily, my eldest sister. In 1942 she married a British sailor and took me with her to live in Scotland and later England. The complication with me having a different surname name to Lily caused problems with the issue of ration books etc. In March 1943 I was adopted and my name changed to Cook. I remained with Lily and her husband in a mostly unhappy situation until 1950 when I returned home to Ireland and regained my own identity as Rodgers. The years away from Belfast and family left me as a stranger in my own home. In 1954 I began the process to join the Royal Navy, and on the 14th March 1955 march off to HMS Ganges. HMS Ganges was a boys training camp near Ipswich, probably the toughest naval training camp in England. ( refer to my books for a complete history of my early and tumultuous life). Today you will find me living with my wife Linda of forty four years, in our lovely cottage located in Abram Village. Prince Edward Island. We are both retired and share our time with our two dogs and cat. We have two grown daughters and two wonderful grandchildren. Forgive me if this sounds like a sales pitch, but if you decide to read my books I recommend you begin with 'Lily & Me' then follow with 'The Royal Navy & Me' as it is the sequel.I recommend you read my first work of fiction "Chapter XXI Armageddon`` you will not be disappointed
I also invite you to visit my web site at www.irishroversbooks.com and please sign my guest book.
