Through fire and water: Extraordinary times require ordinary people

Bombed, machine gunned, torpedoed and trapped in a sinking ship, Paul Houghton was one of the colourful characters of the Malta convoys. He saved the lives at sea of two fighting admirals and became the first Fleet Surgeon of the Royal Navy. He was also consultant surgeon at the former Worcester Royal Infirmary.
“Mark Houghton has written a fabulous biography of his father, the surgeon Mr. Paul Houghton. It is an extraordinary story of faith, of medical affairs, and of the Royal Navy in wartime. ”
