After graduating in 1939, Prince Philip became a cadet at the Royal Naval College. He later served as the midshipman on the battleship HMS Ramilies and later spent his time on the HMS Valiant. After a while, he was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant and fought in the Battle of Cretek. He was even awarded the Greek War Cross.

Prince Philip was born in 1921 in Mon Repos, on the Greek Island of Corfu to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, and Princess Alice of Battenberg.
