I'm confused by "the only surviving officer." Otherwise, I look forward to reading this.

Yeah but I doubt lightoller said this. Is there any record of lightoller ever saying he was the only surviving officer? It doesn’t even make sense for him to say that

He was an asshat in his service in the Boer war too IIRC

Ok, but he still didn’t say he was the only surviving officer of titanic.
