Kōrero taurongo
- One of only three New Zealanders to command a submarine during the Second World War (Laurence Edward 'Larry' Herrick, Connell Percy Thode, and Herbert Patrick 'Percy' Westmacott).
'Commander ‘Percy’ Westmacott, DSO, DSC, born and bred in New Zealand, his service was all with the Royal Navy, and his decorations were all won in submarines, particularly in the specialist world of midget submarines.
He joined the Royal Navy in 1934; 1941, Lieutenant; 1955, Commander.
He qualified in submarines at the start of the war. He was First Lieutenant of Unshaken in 1942 when, one night as she surfaced in rough weather, she rolled so extremely that her captain and two lookouts were washed overboard and lost. Westmacott had to take charge and return to Gibraltar. Later, with a new CO, she carried out successful patrols, sinking six enemy vessels, and capturing the Italian S/ M Ciro Menotti, for which he was awarded the DSC. In 1944 he joined X-craft (midget S/Ms) and commanded X-24 on a mission to sink a floating dock inside Bergen harbour. The dock was sunk and X-24 returned safely.
Westmacott was awarded the DSO. In 1945 he commanded the larger XE-5 in an operation to cut Japanese telegraph cables, which were cryptographically secure, to force them to use radio – the Allies having broken the radio codes. While under tow to the Site, the tow broke and XE-5 plunged well below her maximum designed depth, dragged down by the wire. Luckily the tow was slipped and she popped up like a cork. Westmacott decided to continue and XE-5 was three days underwater at the Site before retiring to be towed back. The cable was put out of action and Westmacott was awarded a a bar to his DSC.'
