World War Two

Polite Notice:
Some people are tempted to buy a copy of my books from big global companies, purely because their website has been conveniently placed (or targeted) either side of my (self-funded) small website and probably think they are getting a better deal by saving a small amount of money. However, what potential buyers do not realise is that the copy from these mainstream traders will not be dispatched by them and will not be signed or dedicated (which the author does free of charge). Another consideration is that all the copies sent by the author have never seen the light of day (in other words they are 'brand new'). In some cases the author can supply extra information concerning details about an individual casualty, i.e., a photograph of a casualty's grave, or elements from researched archives and even more detailed documentation obtained during the author's extensive research.
The information supplied on this website has taken an inestimable amount of time to produce and has been provided free of charge, bearing in mind that the author has to pay an annual fee to keep this important site running; which is costly and, in the past, has helped a great number of relatives connected to the important stories he has written.

How Brian Crabb started writing
On 12 December 1991 Brian lost his best friend and father Percival Crabb. The following year he decided to try to improve a coveted photograph album headed HMS Kenya, which was owned by his late father. What transpired, initially, was two books: 'Passage to Destiny' The story of the sinking of the SS Khedive Ismail
and published in 1997 and 'In Harm's Way' The story of HMS Kenya, which was
published the year after. Writing them helped the author to come to terms with his great loss.
