WALLIS, John. With God's Blessing and a Green Beret: A Pilgrimage. 112p., illus. Poole: Firebird, 1994. ISBN: 185314200X.

An autobiography. Wallis volunteered in 1941 and served as a chaplain with 41 Royal Marine Commando until in 1944 he transferred to the depot ship Tyne, serving with her at Scapa and in the Pacific. Very good on the unsung and unpleasant work of a non-combatant padre as medic and gravedigger at Sicily and Salerno.
