An inspiring account of struggle, survival and coping with life
during the early twentieth century...Two sailors sit astride camels
at the Pyramids, on leave from guarding Suez against attack in
1914. Crewmen scramble from the flooded engine room of their
cruiser 'Warrior' as it sinks at the Battle of Jutland. British
warships shell Bolshevik troops in Estonia in 1919. The Royal Navy
visits Japan in 1928 to celebrate Hirohito's Coronation. Excited
Plymouth children, blitzed out of their school, watch an American
soldier's lasso tricks just before D-Day.This biography of a
sailor, George Lancaster, views a half-century of history from his
novel perspectives. George experienced world wars, revolutions,
sectarian atrocities and the Great Depression. Serving in the Royal
Navy across the globe, he witnessed British imperial display and
decline, and saw civil conflict in countries - Russia, Turkey and
China - where nationalist movements were filling the void created
by the collapse of empires.
