Bill King's Story
William Aelian King was born in England in 1910. He never
knew his
father as he died during WW1. The title "The Stick &
The Stars"
comes
from the title of his first book which chronicles his
early life
upto WW2. The book is out of print but can be bought on
Amazon or any
number of online book stores. Its a facinating read and I
recommend it
to anyone interested in British and Royal Navy
history
between the wars. He was born into
what can only described as 'British upper class'
though his father
was Irish and his mother a daughter of the Scottish
McKenzes.
