5½'' x 3½''. Divided back. High gloss monochrome post card. Maud took over as captain of the destroyer Somali in September 1942 when her captain, Jack Eaton, was taken ill. SIGNED by Maud to the rear 'Escort in large Russian Convoy 23/9/42 Torpedoed and taken in tow by another destroyer but Board of Admiralty regrets to announce that having been in tow for 3 days in bad weather ship broke in two and sank. Lieutenant Commander C. D. Maud D.S.C. R.N. in command | 23rd September 1942.' Somali was hit in her engine room and although taken under tow by Ashanti, on 25 September heavy weather broke the destroyer's back and she sank. Maud was rescued by Leading Seaman William Goad, who dived into the freezing water with a rope, for which Goad was awarded the Albert Medal. Of the 102 men on board, only 35 were rescued. Maud had spent an hour in the Arctic water and credited his survival to the fact that he had drunk a bottle of whisky after going overboard. As a result, he ordered men under his command to carry a bottle of whisky, which proved to be a popular order. On 1 December 1942 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Member of the P.B.F.A. ROYAL NAVY (RN).
