Memoirs of bomb disposal, the author's speciality being "magnetic mines dropped by parachute," i.e., landmines. John Bryan Peter Duppa-Miller was commissioned in the RNVR & awarded the George Cross for dealing with one such mine in Barking Creek in the winter of 1940 when his assistant was AB Tuckwell, whose portrait appears as the frontispiece & who also received the GC. Orig. green cloth, gilt, VG in chipped dw. Unaccountably rather scarce. See illustration on our website.
