I would like to thank members of the Ismay family for their help and support, especially Pauline Matarasso whose friendship, insights and intelligence made writing this book an unexpected pleasure. Angus Cheape provided tremendous hospitality and some extraordinary documents, and I am extremely grateful to Malcolm Cheape for allowing me use of family photographs. Thank you also to John Cheape, Pascal Lo, Jim Alderson Smith and Alan and Trudi Sanderson. A chance conversation with Kate Bucknell changed everything, and I owe a particular gratitude to Robert and Polly Maguire.
