Many individuals have allowed me to use their private notes, diaries and correspondence written during the campaign, others have spent hours in conversation; inevitably, much of a personal nature — opinions and feelings — emerged but could not be disclosed, even though this would have given depth to an often dry narrative. A number of contributors wished to remain anonymous and I have therefore decided that none should be named, trusting that any disappointment that this may cause will be eased by the rather fuller accounts of their ships’ and squadrons’ activities which their assistance made possible.
