Reflections From A Distant Shore - The Sand Pebbles

Apologise for any infringement of any kind, but this is a story worth telling.

Author Richard McKenna was himself a 'China Sailor'. The movie, The Sand Pebbles. is based on his book of the same name. It was a big hit in its day. It became a 'cult classic' for many sailors in many navies. I was 16 Years Old and had been in the Royal Australian Navy for exactly one year, when on Leave and Draft to my first ship, about to sail on my first Dep[loyment to the Far East Station. I went to the movies and saw it. It was Xmas 1969. It was a very controversial time in history.

The movie had a huge impact upon me. Maybe in more ways than even I know, or can explain.
