About the Book

My grandfather, James McKay, died in 1914 two months after World War 1 began. His Royal Navy cruiser HMS Pathfinder was the first warship to be torpedoed by a submarine. He was among nearly 400 crew who died. During the tense years leading up to the war he served for two years as an Engine Room Artificer on board HMS Lancaster stationed in the Mediterranean. His diary of this experience led me to the ports and people he so vividly described. This book integrates his observations with mine and details how I came to know and to love him.
About the Author: Born in England in 1937, raised in South Africa where he obtained his masters degree in Psychology, James White left South Africa in 1962 to do a doctorate at the London School of Economics. For political reasons, he never returned to live in South Africa. After obtaining his Ph.D. he settled in England and taught Psychology at the University of Keele until he immigrated to Canada in 1969. He was an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Guelph until 1990. After training as a psychotherapist at the Institute of Bioenergetic Analysis in Toronto, he maintained a private practice as a Clinical Psychologist in Guelph until June, 2004. During his academic career, he authored 10 journal articles on topics in Community and Social Psychology; e.g. the attitudes of black and white South African nurses towards patients, the effects of injustice on teen delinquency and resolving tensions in neighbourhood groups. James has played a part in the musical life of Guelph, singing in a church choir and leading a traditional jazz group called the Speed River Spasm Band. Apart from playing the clarinet, he is an avid Masters rower.
