But in fact he has spent alinoat bis wbole life ini Britain and bas followed a naval career I the tradition of his illustrious irncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, wbo was supreme commander in the Far East and lately Viceroy of India. As a mere youth Philip Mount- batten entered Britain'a Royal Naval Coflege at Dartmouth Where be went tbrough all the rigors af training on an equal footing with ail other cadets. He won the King's Dirk as the best ail-round cadet of tie termi, wbich calus for the highest qualities of leadership an.d achievement.
