Malcolm Campbell's land speed record, Wing Commander Ira Jones and many more world events, which took place in a sleepy corner of Wales.

This diary documents Stanley's life at sea as part of the North Atlantic convoys. He is a very articulate young man aboard ships crossing dangerous waters shortly before and during the First World War. He documents racing back with the Megantic, sister ship of the Titanic. A beautifully written book full of historic references.
