Malcolm-

Thanks for giving this one a fresh try. The three works that were published in book form are mentioned above in this thread: Private Opinions of a British Blue-Jacket (July, 1929), Sailor with Banjo (1930), and Cockalorum (summer 1936).

The Maclaren Geneologies website is maintained by a Hamish Maclaren who is a distant cousin of the literary Hamish Maclaren we are concerned with. I have referred his daughter to the junior Hamish.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
