Scapa Flow

Scapa Flow in Orkney was the forbidding destination for many thousands of service personnel and civilians in both World Wars, and the location of dramatic incidents such as the loss of the Hampshire with Kitchener on board in 1916, the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet in 1919, and the sinking of the Royal Oak at anchor by U-boat U-47 at the beginning of the Second World War. This new edition of the reminiscences of men and women who served during both wars captures all the suffering, loss and glory experienced by those who were there.
