I believe he was the sweetheart of Hilda Nora Whaley from Nottingham and is the Father of my partner. Any info gratefully accepted. If anyone knows how I can look up where he came from that would be useful. I have his Royal Navy Service No etc.

There is currently a copy on sale for $1 on abebooks.com. He does spend a bit too much time on a conspiracy theory he later admits is untrue but otherwise it is not a bad book. regards Jerry
