Another quiet hero passes on
2006-05-06
Rear Admiral Robert "Bob" Timbrell of the Royal Canadian Navy, who has died aged 86, was plucked out of Portsmouth gunnery school at the age of 20 and plunged into his first command - one of the "little ships" that helped to rescue the British army from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940.
Go read his whole story in the Guardian. Another amazing, quiet man who did his job very well on a terrible day.
