An interesting life : the memoirs of RT REVD Ambrose W. M. Weekes CB, QHC, AKC, FKC, RN /edited by Mary Snape BA.

"Ambrose set himself a mammoth task, that of recording his 'most interesting life'! The first section gives a real insight into his childhood growing up between the Wars, his school days, his theological training and the development of his vocation for the priesthood. In 1944 he joined the Navy as a chaplain and as a link between the first section and the second is a diary of his journey to his first posting to the Persian Gulf in 1944 which makes fascinating reading. This section then contains an account of his subsequent career in the Navy culminating as Chaplain of the Fleet from 1969 to 1972. The third section deals with his distinguished service in the Anglican Diocese in Europe as Bishop and his two retirement posts in Rochester and Territet, Switzerland. I apologise for any mistakes in transcription or spelling of proper names and plead difficulty sometimes in reading Ambrose's script! Ambrose himself may have made the occasional error and, of course, I have been unable to chekc any of this with him! As one of his nieces I remember him best as an entertaining Uncle with a 'wicked' sense of humour, an understanding brother to my mother, the best of Father Christmases, his reference to us when children as 'the animals' and later, his generous hospitality on the occasions that we met.
