Basil Charles Godfrey Place
Rear Admiral Basil Charles Godfrey Place (19 July 1921 – 27 December 1994), known as Godfrey Place, was an officer in the Royal Navy and a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Details==
He was 22 years old, and a lieutenant in the Royal Navy during the Second World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 22 September 1943 at Kåfjord, North Norway, Lieutenant Place, commanding Midget Submarine ''X7'', and another lieutenant (Donald Cameron) commanding Midget Submarine X.6, carried out a most daring and successful attack on the German Battleship ''Tirpitz''. The two submarines had to travel at least 1,000 miles from base, negotiate a mine-field, dodge nets, gun defenses and enemy listening posts. Having eluded all these hazards they finally placed the charges underneath the ship where they went off an hour later, doing so much damage that ''Tirpitz'' was out of action for months.
The full citation was published in a supplement to the ''London Gazette'' of 18 February 1944 (dated 22 February 1944) and read:
