[QUOTE="Toffeenose1878, post: 63343, member: 39546"] John, My father Arthur Robinson served in the Levant Schooner Flotilla on LSF 7. I have a collection of books including most of the ones you mention in your post. I have nothing specifically relating to Martin Solomon but for completeness you might like to read Geoffrey Kirk’s memoir Towards the Aegean Sea A Wartime Memoir. Geoffrey Kirk was originally an academic who saw service in the Royal Navy before joining the LSF in 1943 on LSF 11 I believe. The copy I have has a hand written acknowledgement by Geoffrey Kirk to Adrian Seligman ‘ fundator noster’ of the LSF. There are a couple of references to ‘cloak and dagger’ activities and mention of Anders Lassen VC with whom my father was acquainted when based at the forward anchorage at Castelorizo and during the landing on Symi for Operation Tenement. I wish you luck in your endeavours to write about Martin Solomon, however there is also a need for a larger look at the whole LSF operation which has never been properly addressed as far as I am aware. If I can be of any further help my email is [email]mikerobinson1878@outlook.com[/email] Kind Regards Mike Robinson [/QUOTE]
