“In Which We Serve” is a fine tribute to the Royal Navy focusing on the crew of one destroyer from before the war through its sinking during the battle around Crete in 1941. Netflix has it available for instant viewing. This is our final movie review for 1942.

A Merry Christmas to you, Homer!

‘In Which We Serve,’ is, of course, loosely based on his friend Lord Mountbatten, whose destroyer Kelly was sunk off Crete. I can recall when Lord Mountbatten and his family were murdered by the IRA in 1979.
