YOUNG (Filson, Late Lt., RNVR) With the Battle Cruisers. 1st Ed., xv+296pp., col. frontis., 54 illus., 3 charts. Cassell. 1921  #60014
[HLMainPic] Author's service on HMS "Lion" (Beatty's flagship) in the North Sea 1914-15 inc. detailed account of the engagement at Dogger Bank. Falls states: "Mr Filson Young had the good fortune to be attached to Lord Beatty's staff before the Dogger Bank action. His account of his experiences is very vividly written, but where he goes outside them he is frequently amateurish & does not always keep within the bounds of good taste. On the whole, however, he may be said to have to his credit the remarkable achievement of having written the best popular British book on the Naval War." Orig. blue cloth, gilt, front hinge broken. See illustration on our website.   £15
