In contrast to the voluminous literature on trench warfare, few
scholarly works have been written on how the First World War was
experienced at sea. The conditions of war challenged the Royal
Navy's position within British national identity and its own
service ethos. This challenge took the form of a dialogue, fuelled
by fear of civil unrest, between the discourses of paternalism from
above and democratism from below. Laura Rowe explores issues of
morale and discipline, using the contemporary language of
discipline to shed light on key questions of how the service was
able to absorb indiscipline with marked success through a subtle
web of loyalties, history, ethos, traditions and customs, which
were rooted in older notions of service but moulded by the new
conditions of total war. In so doing, she provides not only a new
methodological framework for understanding morale, but also
military discipline and leadership.
