Looking for firsthand accounts of riverine warfare 1914-22

Are there any surviving accounts from personnel who served on riverine combat vessels, from any country, in any theatre of WW1 or the Russian Civil War? I'm really curious to get an eye-level view of how riverine warfare was conducted in this period. Riverine naval forces were certainly not unremarkable between 1914-22: Austro-Hungarian monitors on the Danube, British gunboats pushing up the Tigris, Allied riverine forces supporting the Whites in northern Russia, etc. etc.
