The unexpurgated letters from Submariner Ronald Lomas on the China Station between 1936 and 1939. As Chief Engine Room Artificer on Pandora, and, all too briefly, Oxley, the letters provide gentle, heartfelt and fascinating insights into life at sea interspersed with social history during the build-up to war. The last letter is dated 3 September 1939, one week before Oxley was the casualty of what is today insulting termed ‘friendly fire’. The letters were compiled by his daughter 75 years later. Through them she got to know the man she never knew as her father.
