He stared death in the face and played tennis with royalty. Experience an officer's extraordinary life in his own words...

John Crispo Inglis "Dutchy" Edwards was world-class in every way. Born in Nova Scotia in 1896, he graduated from the Royal Naval College just in time to serve during World War I. Mostly assigned to the Mediterranean amid heavy losses, the young sailor toed the line of danger in frequent skirmishes and on British decoy ships designed to draw out enemy forces.

Surviving the conflict to rise through the ranks from cadet to Commodore, the dashing officer built his career while intimately detailing his days in the Canadian Navy. But it was his admired athletic prowess that sent Dutchy around the globe and put him in the presence of kings.

Through these recovered, first-person journals and priceless photographs depicting the thoughts and feelings of a career lived in service, Dutchy Edwards gives faithful insight into military life and historical events. Carefully collected and reframed by historian and daughter-in-law Helen Edwards, the rich, handwritten account offers a unique look into a world at war, The Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression.

Dutchy's Diaries is the well-researched and finely tuned narrative of a real-life heroic figure. If you like insider knowledge, looking back through past time periods, and true stories, then you'll love Helen Edwards's family tale.
