I remember him coming home from one of these early raids though & my father who served in the first world war takin him into the bathroom & cleaning him up. i was hiding on the stairs so i saw quite a bit of what was going on.
We lived in custom house right next to the docks so he must have been dropped of.
I remember him giving me a silver table bell that he had brought back as a souvenir .
I think he was on boulonge or Guernsey raids . he was never one to talk about it a lot.
Hope this helps ..i will add as i get more info.
