a merciful journey recollections of a world war II patrol Boat Man marsden hordern A merciful journey presents a vivid and compelling account of Hordern's life from a happy childhood growing up in Sydney during the Great Depression, to his years serving in the Royal Australian Navy from 1942 to 1947. Drawing on the letters and journals he wrote at the time, Hordern engagingly recounts his triumphs and disasters as a naval officer, detailing his rise, from a young and callow sub-lieutenant to a lieutenant in command of his own ship. He recalls the hopes and fears, and, in the face of the horrors of war, reveals an appealing enthusiasm for new experiences and a growing love of the sea. 349 pp - hardback - Published 2005
