ALLISTON, John. Destroyer Man. xx, 88p., illus., index. Richmond: Greenhouse, 1985. ISBN: 0909104816.

Alliston was a regular and in 1939 was First Lieutenant of the new Kandahar. After a winter in the North Sea, she moved to the Red Sea. In 1941 she moved to the Mediterranean and operations around Crete. Later that year he took command of Decoy again in the Mediterranean. After convalescing from wounds received in Malta he moved to Javelin and took her home to the UK in 1943. Then came a spell in Shropshire in the Pacific with TF74, until he took command of Warramunga in September 1944 and of Urania in May 1945. Enjoyable but slight.
