FOX, Hubert. Letters from Sea. 67p., illus. Torquay: Goss Albion, 1985.

In 1939 he was First Lieutenant on Boadicea and in 1940 moved to command an MTB flotilla. In the spring of 1942 he joined to the staff of Admiral Pegram in Freetown and after 12 months there returned to the UK. In early 1944 he became Staff Officer Operations to a D-Day Assault Group and that autumn moved to the Mediterranean to undertake a similar job in the Adriatic. Finally he was an Operations Officer for the projected invasion of Malaya. These are literally letters and show the usual wartime caution and censorship. Another edition was published by Merlin Books in 1996. (ISBN: 086303750X).
