The following people helped me with information about their relatives connected with the
Titanic
’s band; Shirley Brailey, Priscilla Clarke, Lesley Chapman, Beata Dustow, Grace Dalton, Alistair Crawford, Mary Gambell, Alex Glass, Liz Hiddleston, Yvonne Hume, Judith Jeremy, Dorothy Kiely, Ros Meeson, Margaret Mills, Graham Osborn, Jeanette Osborn, Anne Osborn, Jack Osborne, Annette Percival, David Powner, Christopher Price, Annette Robson, Doug Semple, Bobbie Seymour, Katherine Shone, Jeremy Steinhilber, Sue Steinhilber, Helen Turner, Peter Vannozzi, Christopher Ward, Bill Winton, Beverley Wolstenholme, Jeanette Woodward, Lilli Woodward.

I also had help from writers and researchers with expertise on the musicians. Olivier Mendez was generous in sharing his passion for Roger Bricoux. Yvonne Carroll answered my repeated questions about Wallace Hartley. Both Jean-Marc Haugustaine and Philippe Delaunoy sent me valuable material about the life of the fellow countryman Georges Krins, Robert McDougall gladly shared information and photographs relating to Wallace Hartley, and Christian Tennyson-Ekeberg, although writing his own book, kept me in touch with developments. Sally Wood translated some letters from French to English, Kelley McRae researched the Brooklyn Eagle (in Brooklyn) and Diane Eliopoulos Montgomery told me that Roger Bricoux was quoting from Balzac.
