Biography

William Ellery was paired with Eric Fisher to participate in Operation Frankton. As the canoes prepared for launch, their canoe "Cachalot" struck a hatch clamp, ripping an 18-inch gash in its canvas hull. Major Hasler ordered Fisher and Ellery to abort their mission. They remained aboard HMS Tuna alongside reserve-man Colley.
