This abridged extract is taken from his obituary, which was published in the 2019/2020 edition of The Framlinghamian: John Simpson joined the Royal Navy in 1936 as a Cadet-under-training in the cruiser HMS FROBISHER. He passed out third on the list of Paymaster Cadets and joined HMS SUSSEX as Paymaster Midshipman in the Mediterranean Fleet. During this time, in 1937, he saw action in charge of an armed Naval Patrol, manning a roadblock outside Haifa in Israel during the period of Palestinian/Jewish unrest that followed Partition in that year. During the war he served ashore and at sea, in Scotland, in the Northern Approaches and at Lee-on-Solent, Portsmouth. After the war, in 1946, while serving as Supply Officer Lieutenant in HMS AJAX, the ship returned to Montevideo in Uruguay, the scene of her earlier involvement in the Battle of the River Plate in 1939. This voyage was undertaken to repatriate German Naval prisoners-of-war who had been incarcerated in neutral Uruguay throughout the War following the scuttling of the German battle cruiser, the Admiral Graf Spee. John often recalled the extraordinarily warm Civic Welcome that the ship’s company received from the Deputy President of Uruguay in a formal ceremony, just before HMS AJAX’s return voyage to Kiel in the Baltic. Following a Staff Course in the UK, John was based in Malta from 1948-50, returning to a further shore training post in Wetherby before being appointed Secretary to Rear Admiral John Cuthbert, who was Deputy Controller of the Navy at the time, and under whose command John had served in HMS AJAX. John was paid a considerable compliment (in Service terms) by Rear Admiral Cuthbert, who requested that John should continue as his Secretary for the Admiral’s next three appointments, the final one being Flag Officer, Scotland and Northern Ireland, from 1956-58, after which Vice Admiral Sir John Cuthbert retired. John was promoted to Commander in 1955. Three years later, the family moved back to Suffolk and John returned to sea as Supply Officer in the light cruiser HMS BERMUDA, once again in the Mediterranean, before taking up his final Service appointment in 1960 as a Staff Training Officer at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. He retired from the Royal Navy in 1962
