At the turn of the centuries : an anniversary portrait of the marines in the Royal Navy of 1700, 1800 "The year 2000 marks the fourth turn of the century since the creation of a maritime regiment in 1664. The first turn, in 1700, found the maritime regiments in the throes of disbandment following peace-time defence cuts. Shortage of funds and poor accounting prolonged the process and left some officers imprisoned for debt. At the next turn, in 1800, there were some 20,000 marines. With the French and Spanish fleets bottled up in their ports, after being severely mauled at Cape St Vincent and the Nile, the Fleet marines were engaged in raids and land battles from Brittany to Egypt. To John Jervis, Earl St Vincent, their prime value was to ensure loyalty and discipline within his Channel Fleet. The year 1900 found the Royal Navy again in the ascendancy and some 20,000 marines were now essential to the manning of the main armament in the expanding Battle Fleet. In the wars of that year, however, while there was no challenge to British supremacy at sea, the contribution of sailors and marines in the land battles with Boers and 'Boxers' was crucial."--Provided by the publisher. 2000 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353.4"17/19"

The sea, war and barbed wire : a story of merchant navy men /Philip Algar. "This is the fascinating story of Captain Stanley Algar, an oil tanker master. Captured in the Atlantic, he and his colleagues spent four years behind barbed wire. This book, partly based on his diaries, hidden from the Germans, tells how the prisoners survived, confronted starvation and reacted to camp life and German propaganda. A graphic account of their liberation, written as it happened, is included. The role of the U boats and the merchant raider vessels and their commanders is discussed. Why, initially, were they so successful? Many other aspects of the war, including the role of the BBC, the German attempt to persuade some prisoners to change sides and enemy propaganda, are considered. How did the prisoners know what was happening in the war and why was their information so accurate? What was their relationship with the guards? What correspondence with home was allowed? All of this is investigated within, and there is also a discussion of the Nuremberg trials and the appalling cost of the war. Finally, there are many pen portraits of international leaders and 'ordinary' men propelled into another conflict after 'the war to end all wars' had been concluded."--Provided by the publisher 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.61.071.22
