He was "a boxer of real ability and an even better scrapper," according to his brother Frank Hanna. His one effort at promotion ended with a fight with one of the course instructors and he was to remain an Able Seaman until the end of his days.When war was declared he was serving in the destroyer Scorpion, commanded by Andrew Cunningham, later Admiral of the Fleet, Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope.
