GRIFFITH-JONES, Lionel. That's My Lot: An Anecdotal Autobiography of a British Ex-Singapore Colonial. xii, 179p. New York: Vantage, 1984. ISBN: 0533059305.

A fascinating autobiography. The son of expatriates, he went to work with the Singapore Harbour Board in 1938. He gives an excellent sense of period and atmosphere describing his and his brother's experiences as the island fell. He escaped to join the Royal Indian Navy, this service also being described.
