Royal Navy Handbook 1914-1918

I found a hard back copy of this interesting reference book in a local second hand bookshop today. It is a bit eclectic and probably covers too much in far too little space but, nonetheless, should prove to be both interesting and useful. There's a particularly good section on the Gallipoli Campaign and on the Royal Naval Air Service, with some photographs of both that I haven't seen before, so well worth a look if you can track down a copy.

I will be doing a lot more naval wargaming in 2018 including my WW2 Schnell Rules for Schnellboote coastal warfare project, the 1864 Second Schleswig War Broadside and Ram project and the planned pre-dreadnought Royal Navy vs Imperial Japanese Navy 'What if?' project too, so this book fits very nicely right in the middle. In the meantime, however, it's all very much up in the air, with air wargaming very much in the ascendant!
