HAY, Ian. Singapore Repulsed: The Battle Cruiser Repulse. xx, 230p., illus. Bishop Auckland: Pentland, 1998. ISBN: 1858215420.

The autobiography of a Glaswegian Ordinary Seaman. He trained at Ganges then joined Cornwall for seatime before going to Repulse just before war broke out. He was member of A Turret gun crew at the time of the sinking. He later served in the North Atlantic in Vansittart. A rather disjointed account concerned to exonerate Phillips and blame the Foreign Office and the War Cabinet for the disaster of Force Z.
