In this memoir spanning nine decades, Lieutenant Colonel C.F.
Jerram (1882-1969) of the Royal Marines recounts his life and
military service through both world wars. Jerram describes in
candid detail his late 19th-century childhood in Devon and
Cornwall, the late Victorian and Edwardian Royal Navy, the Royal
Navy's Far East Station, a traditional Corps of Marines, the
Gallipoli Campaign, the World War I Western Front and the interwar
and World War II years. His experience and insight convey two
fundamental lessons: ""Know thy profession and look after those for
whom you are responsible."" An essay by the editor, based on other
sources, provides a broader perspective on Jerram, whose approach
to professional military service is still pertinent today.
This study was written in partial answer to the inquiries of a
Congressional subcommittee investigating the historical content of
the senior service school's curricula.
