Allen's fascinating memoirs describe the country life lived by farm labourers and gamekeepers on the great country estates in England before the first world war. However, the lure of the sea proved too much for Allen, as it held out prospects for a more adventurous, independent lifestyle with good money. Yet life on board the herring drifters and trawlers was full of its own challenges, and demanded a toughening up of this young Suffolk country lad. He progresses from a young seasick lad, in charge of the cooking, to becoming a skipper and sea captain in the Royal Naval Reserve who is sent out to defend Singapore in World War 2.
