ISBN:  9781896496641 (pbk.) Description:  205 p. : ill. (some col.), ports. ; 23 cm. Notes:  "Warning: It is difficult to tell from a distance, where fiction ends and fact begins. (Did it happen, really, or was it all a dream?)"--Title page. Contents:  Stage one -- Stage two -- Stage three -- Stage four. Summary:  "I want to make it perfectly clear; the stories in stage one of this book are unadorned fact, as true as my memory permits. These accounts constitute Naval History since they detail my service in the destroyer, H.M.C.S. St. Laurent, when it was an escort for the first wartime convoy leaving Bedford Basin in September 1939; my service in the destroyer, H.M.C.S. Saguenay, when she was torpedoed in December 1940; my service in H.M.S. Drake during the Plymouth Blitz and my service in the battleship H.M.S.Rodney during its bombardment of the German battleship, Bismark in May 1941. They are the reason I struggled to publish this book. Too many stories are being lost as Naval veterans die off: let these not be among them. The stories in stage two are creative factual accounts of the postwar Navy. Stage three stories are vehicles to tell what it was like growing up in small town Saskatchewan in the 1930s. Stage four is the fictional product of my slightly deranged mind." -- from the Author's Notes (p. 197). Genre:  Autobiographies.
