Ian Inglis joined the Royal Navy in 1941 on the Y Scheme. While still in training, he was sent on a convoy to Murmansk, Russia. Following his return he was immediately sent to North Africa to support the landings at Tripoli. He received his commission, and was transferred to a motor gunboat. While serving on the gunboat, he escorted landing craft into Juno Beach on D-Day. After the landings, the gunboat was tasked with patrolling the mouth of the Seine River. It was during one of these patrols that they captured a German explosive gunboat; Mr. Inglis was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions. Mr. Inglis was then transferred to the Far East, where he served on motor gunboats in Burma until he returned to England in 1946.Please be advised that Memory Project primary sources may deal with personal testimony that reflect the speaker’s recollections and interpretations of events.
