The author served as First and Gunnery Lieutenant on H.M.S. Inflexible, the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet. Tipped into the front of this book is a memoir of the author, who was killed in action during the attack on the Narrows, Dardanelles, on 18th March 1915 — a moving account written by his father. The book itself is an intelligent and well-researched guide to the weapons used by the British military at the start of the First World War, with illustrated pull-outs.
Very Good Condition. Tan buckram cloth with dark titles to spine. Binding is firm and pages are clean. Book plates to pastedowns and previous owner's inscription to front free end paper. Boards are clean with light tanning to spine.
