He was killed in action on 1 June 1940 when Havant was attacked by German dive bombers. Commander Burnell-Nugent later wrote: ‘…we got sunk on the 5th trip. June 1st was the last day of the evacuation and I think only one or two destroyers made trips after we were sunk. Lieut (E) E. S. Stribley was the Engineer Officer of the ship and I knew him well. He was killed instantly - literally blown to pieces - when a bomb from a German dive bomber hit above the engine room. I personally saw his body - or what was left of him. Badly damaged in the attack, Havant was finally sunk by gunfire from H.M.S. Saltash, as the ship was by then a total loss.’ Sold with named Admiralty condolence slip (Lieutenant (E) Ernest Stanley Stribley. M.B.E. R.N.), case of issue for M.B.E., and a letter from his commanding officer giving the above quoted details of his death.

He decided on a career in horticulture at the age of 10 while helping to run his father's rectory garden in Toft, Lincolnshire. During the Second World War Roach was part of the Dig for Victory campaign and, in 1946, he was made chief horticultural officer of the newly formed National Agricultural Advisory Service. He became successively regional fruit adviser for the South West and South East before taking the post of national fruit adviser. Retirement from the ministry in 1972 triggered a new career as a consultant to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Bank.

This was followed by the descriptive texts for Hooker's Finest Fruits, which was published by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1989. In 1966 he was awarded the Ridley Medal of the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers. The Royal Horticultural Society awarded him the Veitch Memorial Medal in 1978.
