DIY Writer #27 Helen Edwards
I found myself immersed in the story of John “Dutchy” Edwards as Helen described the book and told story after story of what he went through in his long career in the Canadian Navy. He went through two world wars and visited many different countries.

IN A NAVAL CAREER that spanned nearly four decades and led him to ports of call and engagements around the globe, John “Dutchy” Edwards rose from
cadet to Commodore in a career rich in adventure and service to his country. This carefully researched and faithfully reproduced volume of his journals
begins with Dutchy’s early naval experiences in the theatre of battle during the First World War, then follows his peacetime progress on the west and east coasts of Canada in the “Roaring Twenties”. It continues in a return to the Mediterranean aboard HMS Valiant and concludes with North American patrols in command of HMCS Champlain.
HELEN EDWARDS’ extensive research skills and knowledge of family history have immeasurably enriched Dutchy’s journals, bringing his words to life
for a worldwide audience and enhancing our understanding of one of the most notable periods in Canada’s emergence onto the world stage.
