Here are a few reviews (of the hard copy version)

I WAS A WITNESS TO THE SINKING OF THE BISMARCK!!

Ray Lock was an eye-witness to the sinking of the German battleship, Bismarck. In these memoirs recalls details of this epic battle, as well as many other memoirs from his fascinating life.

Bismarck, Dorsetshire and Memories is another good book, produced privately, that we are fortunate to be able to read and learn more about a sailors war.

BISMARCK, DORSETSHIRE AND MEMORIES by Ray Lock
from 'Warship World'

A very well presented book, nicely printed, good quality photographs and most of all very interesting.

I WAS A WITNESS TO THE SINKING OF THE BISMARCK!!

Ray Lock, a South African, tried to join the South African Air Force at the age of 16 as a pilot. Told he would have to wait, he like many others went to a service that would take him, then and there. He thought the war would be over by the time he allowed to join the air force. Joining the Royal Navy instead, he had in fact lots of time to get involved in some well known and some lesser, but equally important actions.

Throughout this book is packed with detail and without doubt will prove of interest to those who like the nitty, gritty of Naval Life. The author served on DORSETSHIRE, prior to the BISMARCK action for some time and until the ships loss in the Indian Ocean, where he was wounded
Both CORNWALL and DORSETSHIRE were sunk by Japanese aircraft attack. The survivors, many wounded, including Mr Lock, were then machine gunned in the water. Sighted by an aircraft, the group was rescued by HM Ships ENTERPRISE, PANTHER and he was personally picked up by PALADIN. After extensive recovery time in hospital Mr Lock was selected for Officer Training, after which he was seconded again to the Royal Navy. Further service in small craft including HDMLs in the Mediterranean with even more operational diversity concluded the authors war.

This is another good book, produced privately, that we are fortunate to be able to read and learn more about a sailors war. This one is beautifully presented.

FROM 'WARSHIP WORLD'

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the rich and varied life of the author, including being an eye-witness to the sinking of the Bismarck. Young readers will be especially interested and fascinated by Rays well-written experiences from an earlier generation.and the horrors of war. A most revealing and excellent read!

To dearest dad, "the bestest"

thanks for all the support , encouragement and especially love

Your memory and immense spirit (or aura) lives on

thanks for everything, dad "a real champ"

Glenda and craig

"A champion is not a title, but a set of qualities: Champions aren't made in the gym. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - an inner flame that burns brightlywith dedication, purpose, desire and passion. True champions LIVE the dream, the vision of who and what they can one day become. even a long time before it happens."
