Hello Everyone, my first post to this forum.

I have recently read the excellent book "The Little Ships" and will soon have my own copy. In the book mention is made of Lt Cdr Robert Peverell Hichens DSO & bar, DSC & 2 bars, by all accounts quite a hero in Coastal Forces. He had 2 Sons and I'm asking if any of you know of them, I would love to get in touch with either or both.

I should also receive shortly 'Hich's' own book "We Fought Them in Gunboats" which I'm really looking forward to reading. I have a 1:350 scale model of a BPB Co MGB and my goal is to 'do Hich's boat' if I can.

Thanking You,
