Sketches and stories of the Royal Navy in the years before the First World War, written by a serving officer under the pen name Bartimeus. Midshipmen, coxswains, lieutenants and captains go about the routine and the occasional crisis of the ‘New Navy’, on board and on shore leave, with an affectionate eye for the traits of the sailor-man.
A warm, humorous portrait of the Edwardian navy that delighted readers during the war. Download the free EPUB.
