Many thousands of Royal Naval seamen and Royal Marines fought in
the trenches of the Great War alongside soldiers from across the
Empire. Their graves may be found around Antwerp, on the Gallipoli
peninsula, and all along the Western Front. The seamen and marines,
supported by Army battalions, fought at Anzac Cove, on the Somme,
and at Passchendale. They suffered giant siege mortars whilst
delaying the enemy in Belgium, flies and the stench of widespread
carnage on Turkish shores, and gas attacks whilst sheltering in
flooded shell-holes on the Western Front. At the armistice, the
Royal Naval Division had suffered 46,794 casualties, of whom 10,797
lost their lives. At the same time, the Division earned many
decorations for gallantry, including eight Victoria Crosses. The
Germans regarded the Royal Naval Division as 'one of the four most
famous fighting Divisions of the British Army. From the rout on the
Western Front in 1914 to Gallipoli and the Zeebrugge raid, E.C.
Coleman tells the history of the RND.
