To anyone interested enough to follow this up here's a review of Charles' book, 'War in a Stringbag'. Sounds like a good read, a shame there are no reasonably priced copies in this part of the world.

Also a Wikipedia article on the man himself.

UPDATE: Turns out that Bookdepository has a special on this book, hope to be enjoying the read soon
