These memoirs have three major sources. First: My home letters, which my mother kept. These provide the skeleton for the contents, hopefully preserving the personal and informal aspects of my story. Second: Covering my sea-time, the ” Monthly Reports of Proceedings ” from H.M.A.S. ” Junee ” to the Naval Board, as subsequently released. These contain the details of ” where ” , ” when ” and “” why”, naturally absent from my correspondence for security reasons. Third: My memory, such as it is nearly sixty years after the events, offering other inclusions, I would wish to share.
