Hello All,
 
I have a book by Peter Scott that is signed by Hilda & Edith Hichens. Does anyone know if they are related to Lt. CDR. Hichens? I have a collection of Coastal Forces books and am always curious about their previous owners. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hello 'Stormvogel',
 
I have "We Fought Them in Gunboats" and the more recently published "Gunboat Command" and Hilda & Edith do not get a mention in either book. That is not to say the two ladies were not related in some way.
 
"Gunboat Command" written by 'Hich's' younger son Antony is really a very good read indeed.
 
Cheers,
Roger Pearson.
Bendigo, Australia.
