He and his diver Leading Seaman Mick McGinnis from Northern Ireland carried out the successful attack on the Japanese cruiser Takao in the Johore Straits off Singapore and were both awarded the Victoria Cross for their gallant efforts. This was the last X-Craft operation of WWII before the Nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Japanese surrender. The link below describes their mission which you might find interesting to augment your excellent post. https://www.theywerethere.co.uk/fraser-ian-e-67/ Pedro  | ||
