About this title

Synopsis

This is the official history marking the centenary of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve from its formation in 1903 through its unification with the mercantile Royal Navy Reserve in 1958 and on to its present complete integration with the Royal Navy as 'the part-time element of a single naval service'. This detailed and vivid account which is profusely illustrated is written by a distinguished writer of naval history.

Synopsis

The organization is composed of professional Merchant Navy seamen and civilians who voluntarily undertake part-time naval training and in emergency are committed to call-up and service with the Royal Navy wherever they are ordered to go. Howarth is a historian specializing in naval, maritime, and corporate subjects. Distributed in the US by Casemat
