Book Synopsis From Trench and Turret by : S. M. Holloway
Download or read book From Trench and Turret written by S. M. Holloway and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 55,000 Royal Marines served in the Great War, of whom over a fifth were killed or wounded. The Corps served with distinction, as their motto says Per Mare Per Terram - by sea and by land - in all theatres, including the Western Front, Gallipoli, and in various naval actions including the Fleet action at Jutland. S. M. Holloway here weaves together first hand accounts from the letters and diaries of Royal Marines as Britain fought what was judged 'the war to end all wars'. The accounts of action mix the stoicism of the time with an immediacy that brings the events of ninety years ago into as sharp a focus as if they happened today. In addition to the horrors of combat, Holloway shows how men coped with life far from home in difficult circumstances; from treasure hunts and impromtu 'dinner parties' from whatever came to hand, to sports as varied as cricket and 'bomb throwing'. When I climed over the railing at the top I nearly fell back, as my rifle was slipping off my shoulder. The gangways were heaving up and down now, and the hail of shell was awful. Then for the first time it occurred to me that I might get hurt if I hung around much longer, so I was getting careful at last. I made a jump at the gangway, and got over, and threw my rifle in. I scrambled down as best I could, picked up my rifle, and went over to the starboard side. It was terrible here, and I was mad with myself. I was getting nervous and funky from looking at the dead and listening to the dying. I threw off my equipment and gas mask, and sat down next to poor Tubby Smith; he had one leg clean knocked off, and was talking bravely. There were some deeds done that night that make words seem light and not able to touch on the thought you wish to express. Private James Feaney, RMLI, 4th Bn Royal Marines, on the withdrawal from the Mole at Zeebrugge, 23 April 1918. S. M. Holloway, whose father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all Royal Marines, read history at St Hugh's College, Oxford and took Military History and Theory of War as a special subject. Previous publications include Three Portsmouth VCs.

Download or read book Naval Ordnance and Gunnery written by Bureau of Naval Personnel and published by Periscope Film LLC. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval Ordnance and Gunnery is the most definitive book to emerge from WWII on the subject of naval ordnance and fire control. Encyclopedic in content, the text runs nearly 600 pages and is richly illustrated with photos and diagrams of systems used on destroyers, cruisers, battleships and other warships. Within its pages you'll find detailed descriptions of weapons and ammunition, and discussions on subjects from gun design and construction, to fire control and trajectory analysis. Individual chapters discuss explosives, ammunition, gun assemblies (including barrels, breech assemblies and mounts), turret installations, semi-automatic guns, machine guns, small arms, torpedoes, depth charges and mines, and a history of fire control. Chapters about the fire control problem include studies of gun sight principles, range measurement, the surface problem, the AA problem, fundamentals of director control, dual-purpose battery fire-control system, main battery fire-control system, machine-gun control, torpedo control, spotting, and organization and communications systems and procedures. The book's easy-to-understand text explains the myriad complex problems affiliated with gunnery, and is an indispensable reference for the historian, docent or modeler intent on understanding how WWII gun crews and systems operated. Work on Naval Ordnance and Gunnery began in 1943 at the request of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Personnel. A capable team of five officers, working as writers and editors, compiled the book from a wide variety of sources including curriculum documents from the U.S. Naval Academy and Midshipmen's Schools, material from the Bureau of Ordnance, and various publications from the General Motors Corporation (which designed and built many of the 20mm and .50 caliber guns described in the book). Although it was declassified after WWII, it's never been easy to obtain a copy of this text. This high quality reprint includes all the original text, diagrams and photographs from the original 1944 edition.
