Comments: The author grew up in Sydney during the Great Depression and served in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) from 1942 to 1947 as an officer and rose to the rank of Commander. A classic wartime memoir, the author engagingly recounts his triumphs and disasters as a naval officer detail his rise from a young Sub Lieutenant to a Lieutenant commanding his own patrol boat during World War Two.
