It was in 1920 that young Huzh Pullen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pullen, left home to enter the Royal Naval College of Canada as a cadet. Today he is at home with his parents once more--for a brief vis weather-beaten sea veteran the rank of Commodore. "The navy offers as good a profession as anyone can want," affirmed Commodore Pullen in the course of an interview with a Journal reporter. "It's not easy, it's a hard life. But to anyone who wants to see things and do something for Canada, there's nothing better. He can learn some- thing that is useful, and chances of promotion are good." Commodore Pullen, who receiv- ed his promotion to that rank last January, was until recently in command of HM.C.S. Ontario, which was sent to the Korean coast, but recalled. He is now en- joying a furlough before taking over his mew position as comy mander of the naval barracks at Halifax. With him are his wife and seven children. The Com- modore and his family will re- main at the parental home on Watson Ave. until Sept. 29. Certainly Commodore Pullen has seen much of the world in the course of his long naval car- eer. He has served aboard many different ships in many different parts of the seas. A short while after becoming a naval cadet he went to England for training with the Royal Navy. Re-entering the Royal Canadian Navy he served on the east coast aboard H.M.C. S. Champlain and other vessels. In 1936 he went overseas for the unveiling ceremonies of Canada's war memorial on Vimy Ridge, fol- lowing which he served aboard H.M.S. Hardy in the Royal Navy's mediterranean fleet, based on the island of Malta. He returned to Canada aboard the H.M.C.S. Ot tawa, as Lieutenant-Commander, and was sent to the west coast.
