Appendix: Extracts from King's Rules and Admiralty Regulations 1939 and 1943. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. The author joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as an ordinary seaman in 1935. During the Second world War he served in three ships, a cruiser and two fleet destroyers, for a total of 6.5 years. After demobilization, with other reservists he was recalled for a further two years, 1952-3, as sea again in three ships, two minesweepers and a minelayer. He continued to serve in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and the Royal Naval Reserve until retiring at his own request after 40 years of continuous service in July 1975, shortly after completing his last NATO exercise in Lisbon, Portugal. Ordinary seamen far outnumber their officers, yet most naval books are written from the officers' standpoint. In a wide variety of reminiscences, the author reconstructs the matelot's life, whether in corvette, battleship or destroyer, or whether as Royal Navy, Reservist, RNVR or Hostilities Only. He writes both of the pleasures of shipboard life and of the often harsh discipline meted out for lapses from the strict naval code. There were happy ships and unhappy ships, lucky ships and unlucky ships, and he instances experiences from them. throughout the book he links the experiences of the seamen to the great actions of the war taking place around them, which are thus seen not from the viewpoint of the captain or admiral but the men who fired the guns, the engineers, etc. Thus we get new perspectives on the Battle of the River Plate, Convoy PQ17, the invasion of Sicily, the Battle of Sirte, and many other actions. The author was himself an RNVR seaman before and during the war, later becoming an officer, with experience in many different classes of ships including destroyers, cruisers, and battleships.
