Percivals informasjon om bokens historie:
My father Lt Cmdr Thomas Percival was executive officer of HMAS Adelaide in 1942. The Adelaide intercepted a German blockade runner, MV Ramses, in the Indian Ocean off the WA coast. The Ramses was disguised as a Norwegian merchant ship. After a short action, the Germans scuttled Ramses and Adelaide picked up the crew. Amongst survivors were 10 Norwegian POW who had survived an earlier sinking. The book "All for Norway" was gifted to the Wardroom of HMAS Adelaide at Christmas 1942.
