Stripes And Types Of The Royal Navy

A very British introduction to the dress and duties of the officers and men of the Royal Navy. This handbook from the archive of the National Maritime Museum was originally published in 1909 and was intended to interest and educate the public about the first line of Britain's defence. Beautifully illustrated throughout, with additional information provided on the distinctive insignia of each rank of officers in the Royal Navy in the Executive and Civil branches, and the distinguishing badges of petty officers, men and boys.
