Description

This 1909 handbook from the National Maritime Museum's archive offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Royal Navy. Beautifully illustrated with images of uniforms and markings, it provides an in-depth look at each rank found in the Royal Navy, including officers' insignia and petty officers' badges.

Originally intended to "interest and educate the public mind" about the men who make up the first line of defence, this little handbook is a fascinating insight into the naval hierarchy. With its focus on distinctive uniforms and markings, it's an ideal resource for anyone interested in military history or the Royal Navy.

Hardbound with 80 pages, this book provides a concise and informative look at the Royal Navy's ranks and insignia. A must-have for those looking to learn more about this important aspect of British history.
