The book is a sailor's account of wartime service on H.M.S. Cornwall in the south Atlantic and Indian Oceans . Amongst many anecdotes is 'Just Nuisance', the Great Dane  officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. The author was the opening bat for Western Province and is related to David Dimbleby, the British broadcaster.
