BRADFORD, Henry T. Dockers' Stories from the Second World War. 127p., illus. Stroud: History Press, 2011. ISBN: 0752456881.

Lively stories and colourful characters reveal the bravery of ordinary men at war, from Captain Jim Fryer's ship towage work on Calais roads and Dunkirk beaches, and saving lives of survivors from the bombed hospital ship Paris, to PO Jack Hicks' quieter but equally memorable posting steering a clinker-built boat on a hush-hush job from the Thames to the north-east, his crew consisting only of an inexperienced co-man and an incredibly efficient WREN.
