There is no mention in the text that he was a member of Kensington Borough Council - is there a source? Jackiespeel (talk) 22:47, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nicholas Monsarrat' father's name[edit]

The name of Nicholas Monsarrat' father appears as "Keith Montsarrat" (with a "t"); Is this a typo, or a variant spelling of the name, that seems related to the well known "Montserrat" toponym in Barcelona? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielhythloday (talk • contribs) 11:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency please[edit]

Can we establish whether or not The Cruel Sea is his best-known work?

The lede says:

…known today for his sea stories, particularly The Cruel Sea and Three Corvettes, but perhaps best known internationally for his novels, The Tribe That Lost Its Head and its sequel, Richer Than All His Tribe.

The article says:

The Cruel Sea, Monsarrat's first postwar novel, is widely regarded as his finest work, and is the only one of his novels that is still widely read.

(and)

Monsarrat's more famous novels, notably The Tribe That Lost Its Head and its sequel Richer Than All His Tribe… Valetude (talk) 16:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
