Hi all,
It is so great to see this MOD 'out on the water', and so much interest in it! The submarine campaign of the Royal Navy is one of the most fascinating of the entire war, and sadly, one that is all too often overlooked neglected.
I hope to see this MOD grow from strength to strength and can't wait for the Mediterranean Campaign!
In the meantime, for those of you who would like to know more, may I suggest the following great books, some of which have already been mentioned:
"One of our Submarines" - Edward Young
"One Man Band" AKA "Submarine Commander" - Ben Bryant
"The Stick and the Stars" - William King
"The Hunting Submarine" - Ian Trenowden
"The Fighting Tenth" - John Wingate
"Surface" - Alexander Fullerton (fiction)
"The Waiting Game" - Alexander Fullerton (fiction)
"Submariner" - Alexander Fullerton (fiction)
and many many more for those who would look...
The books by Alexander Fullerton are truly excellent as he served in HM Submarines during the war and really captures the atmosphere, the boredom, excitement and terror of being a RN submariner during the war.
Enjoy the books and the MOD!
Cheers.
