Ray Parkin
Ray Parkin (6 November 191019 June 2005) was an Australian writer, amateur artist, and self-taught historian, noted for his memoirs of World War II and a major work on James Cook's ''Endeavour'' voyage. ==Early life== Parkin was born in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood. As a boy he was always interested in ships and was in the sea scouts. He was always keen on drawing (especially drawing ships), and after leaving school at age 14 that interest got him a job at an engraving firm. In 1928 aged 18 he joined the Royal Australian Navy, which took him to ports around the Pacific and gave him plenty more subjects to draw. He rose through the ranks of the navy to become a chief petty officer, and in 1939 was drafted onto the newly commissioned light cruiser HMAS ''Perth''. Its sole peaceful mission was a trip to New York to represent Australia at the World's Fair, from which it was straight into World War II.
