"All My Own Work"
This is an account of my working life - initially from 1965 to 1986, but with more to follow.
To India and Back in 1914
This diary of a return voyage from Britain to India just before the outbreak of WW1 gives a fascinating insight into the world at that time and the attitude of the British towards India and its population in the Edwardian era.
A Mediterranean Cruise on Moldavia in 1936
I have reconstructed this cruise from an album of photos, leaflets, passenger lists and other memorabilia that I purchased on eBay. Shadows hang over Europe as Fascist regimes grabbed power and the cruise left just before the start of the Spanish Civil War.
The Imperial Durbars and Indian Independence
The story of the British rule of India, the strange and extravagant ceremonies that attempted to underpin it, and Indian Independence.
