His full initials were I.G.W.Robertson, which led to the unfortunately nickname of 'I Ground Warships' Robertson after the bingle in Plymouth harbour.

When carrying out RAS (Replenishment At Sea) we would have a huge banner raised on the port side of Eagle's island with a copy of the Robertsons' jam gollywog and a reproduction of the jam label logo, "Robertsons. By Golly it's Good"

All terribly jolly stuff, but Eagle was a happy ship under his captaincy and the Far East cruise was one to remember prior to paying off for the last time. Many, many escapades and fun times
