		His research was authorized by the Mountbatten family, but in this case, he says, the term does not mean that the book was distorted to fit the demands of the survivors.
		Mountbatten, his second son (the family name was anglicized in 1917 at the direction of King George V), never forgot the injustice, and counted his own posting as First Sea Lord in 1954 as a vindication of his father.

		In 1957 the then First Sea Lord, The Earl Mountbatten of Burma and the Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel, Admiral Sir Charles Lamb, were concerned for the future of several thousand officers and men who were to be 'axed' under defence cuts following the end of the Korean War.
		It was Admiral Mountbatten's inspiration that the financial expertise of the City of London be sought so that the best possible advice could be made available to help those who would be leaving the Naval Service and starting a new career in civilian life.
		One of the principal aims was to avoid the tragic errors made by many servicemen following the 1919 'axe', and to ensure that the financial compensation, known as the "golden bowler", should be protected and wisely invested.
