The son of Charles Lightoller, surviving second officer of the RMS Titanic, Roger joined his father to assist in the Dunkirk Evacuation early in the war. A member of the Volunteer Reserve, Lightoller served with the Royal Navy during the war, he rose rapidly through the ranks to commander, he was decorated for gallantry in combat and twice mentioned in dispatches for rescuing Allied servicemen.
