The Neptune Association
SOLE SURVIVOR
SECOND EDITION


In 2008 Norma Hudson, daughter of Norman Walton, wrote a biography of her father, the only survivor from the catastrophic loss of HMS Neptune, a cruiser sunk in a minefield off the Libyan coast in December 1941. This unique book would never have been written if Norma had not found her father's 'ditty' box containing his diaries and stories after he died in April 2005. It gives an extraordinary insight into the tragedy of HMS Neptune and is a valuable contribution to the nation's knowledge of WWII.

The First Edition sold out some time ago and a Second Edition of Norma's book has been published with updates and corrections in May 2024.

Norma Hudson: Sole Survivor - One Man's Journey. Biography of John Norman Walton - Sole Survivor of HMS Neptune

The Association sold out their copies of the first edition of Norma's excellent biography of her late father as did Norma herself.

Copies of the updated Second Edition are now available from Norma, click on the image of the book above for details.
