Afloat and Ashore (Hardcover)

A TOKEN TITLE This work tells the story of the Royal Navy during the bitter South African conflict at the beginning of the last Century. Navy QSAs may not all have clasps denoting actions but that doesn't mean the men of the Senior Service weren't in action time and time again. From troop carrying to intelligence gathering; from blockades to siege busting the Royal Navy was very much a part of the Boer war - this book goes a long way to telling a story all too often overlooked. Published 2006; Author Peter Singlehurst; 184 pp. ISBN: 978 1870192 736
