Résumé
This record of life on board HMS Safari during World War II is based on original first-hand accounts. As the boat's leading telegraphist, Arthur Dickison had a privileged position in the crew, with access to all signals traffic and the… navigation officer as his boss, who gave him an insight into why they were doing what they did. During 18 months of war patrols, Dickison kept a personal diary of life aboard Safari. In it he recorded daily events ranging from the tedium of long sea passages to stalking enemy convoys, crash dives and fighting it out on the surface. 2003.
