I heard the order shouted out, "Dive, Dive, Dive!" My job was now to press the klaxon button. I reached up to press it, BUT, BUT, BUT the button wasn't there. WHERE IS IT? The crew were waiting for the klaxon to sound before they executed their diving procedures, such as opening vents to let air out and water in, giving negative buoyancy.
HMS Tally Ho, captained by Commander L.W.A. Bennington was a T-class submarine which achieved spectacular success in the Second World War. Her name was chosen for her by Winston Churchill and it proved a very suitable one for a hunting submarine. In a single commission, lasting from 15th March 1943 to 26th February 1945, she operated in the Malacca Strait.
Here, surrounded by enemy air bases and in badly charted shallow waters, so shallow that many experts considered them unsuitable for submarine operations, she took a heavy toll of enemy warships and supply vessels. The boat, her captain and her crew are all vividly portrayed in this exciting chronicle which is the fruit of wide and detailed research.
