T. M. Jones (–2000)
Autor/a de The silent service : action stories of the Anzac Navy
Sobre l'autor
(eng) Given the dates below, Jones was likely born circa 1895 or earlier, and likely died before 2000. Until someone determines otherwise, I have entered a date of death as 1 Jan 2000. From "Australian Submarines at Peace : J Boats" by Graham Seal - Leading Torpedo-man Tom, or ‘Taff', Jones had been among the landing boat crews at Gallipoli aboard HMS London. (ie in April 1915 - my note) Inspired by the well-reported exploits of VC-winnner Lieutenant Norman Douglas Holbrook in British submarine B11 in the Dardanelles, he joined the submarine service. Jones subsequently served aboard J2 and in 1935 published a rare account of the experience in his Watchdogs of the Deep".
Jones in 1941, whilst serving on HMAS Australia, also wrote "Sons of the sea : from naval cadet to captain", and in 1944, with Ion L Idriess wrote "The Silent Service".
