MALCOLM, Ian M. Dangerous Seas 1939-1945. v, 227p., bibliog., illus. Broughty Ferry: Moira Brown, 2017. ISBN: 9781520753775.
A compilation of four short Kindle Books. These are Dangerous Voyaging and Dangerous Voyaging 2, both based on brief accounts of individual convoys, often with a personal story. Fortunes of War briefly lists the war service of merchant ships chronicled in Vol. 14 of the Marine Observer for 1937, plus descriptions of three wartime voyages made by a friend, Douglas Cameron. The final volume, Mined Coasts, is a list of British merchant ships damaged or sunk by mines, with brief details of the circumstances.

LEWIS, Tom. Honour Denied: Teddy Sheean, A Tasmanian Hero.and other Brave Warriors of the Royal Australian Navy. 317p., bibliog., illus., index. Kent Town, S.A.: Avonmore, 2016. ISBN: 9780987151971.
No member of the Royal Australian Navy has ever been awarded a Victoria Cross. Of the 100 so far given to Australians, 96 are to the Army and four to the Royal Australian Air Force. This detailed and passionate account of Sheean’s bravery during the sinking of HMAS Armidale aims to prove the lack of VCs for the RAN is unjust.
