In October 1914 the author, a naval Gunnery Officer, was ordered to Belgium to command a unit of 6-inch naval guns on railway mountings, HM Armoured Train 'Jellicoe.' This unusual unit moved around Flanders giving invaluable artillery support during the First Battle of Ypres, winter operations before La Bass‚e, then at Neuve Chapelle & on the Yser front in the spring of 1915. A fine personal account containing much interesting detail, some scarce photos. & useful maps. Roll of personnel of HMAT 'Jellicoe.' Orig. olive green cloth, gilt, little spotted o/w VG & very rare. See illustration on our website.
