Read the address at the memorial service for Jack Hawkins on 14 September 1973 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London.

He fathered two daughters - Susan Jane More (1941 - ) from his first marriage to Beryl Johnstone and Sarah Elizabeth More (1954 - ) from his second marriage to "Bill" Barkby. Following his divorce from Beryl Johnstone, and her subsequent re-marriage it was decided that it would be in his daughters best interests if she grew up with only one father figure. As a result they did not meet again until 1957 when she had turned fifteen, although they had kept in touch throughout this period, writing regularly. His third wife, the actress Angela Douglas, was known to him simply as 'Shrimp'.

Served throughout the Second World War in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). He was "demobbed" in 1946 as a lieutenant having served on the light-cruiser HMS Aurora as a Watch Keeping Officer, and the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious as a Fighter Directions Officer.
