DEDICATION To the memory of Jabez Joseph Benning, Charles Edison Hawke and Dorothy Ramsay You’re all living in a better place now, and you’ll live in my memory until I join you. Not a single day passes without each of you passing through my mind. And to Ordinary Seaman Wayne Hawke You are and always have been my Pride and Joy. The life you have chosen served your Dad well. Make the best of it my Son. Oh yes! Sorry if they give you the nickname, ‘Biff.’
THANKS To Linda Brady-Hawke – my wife – for turning a blind eye when she saw the manuscript on my computer screen when I was pretending to be working and for her moral support; To Cheryl, Barbara, Brenda and Wayne Hawke – my children and my cheerleaders; To Honey Watts – my sister – for her encouragement and advice; To John Hawke – my brother – for the super deal he gave me to print this book; To Robert (Grizzly) Bell, Lt (N) Ret’d, for contributing the Foreword; To George Dowler, CPO1 Ret’d, for reviewing the book; To Sunil Sukumaran, for proofing and reviewing the book; To Granville (Bob) Watts – deceased – whose death inspired me to get on with it before I follow him to world beyond. He took so many wonderful unpublished stories to the grave; To Roy Marlin for providing me with an excellent example of a bad example of how humans should treat each other; To Anne Davies L’Ongepe – granddaughter of poet Robert Service and copyright owner of his poems – for allowing me to reproduce “The Men That Don’t Fit In” without charge; and finally, To all of you who reserved a copy of the book in advance from our website (www.diplomatist.com). Your support spurred me on. 5
