paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Pencil notations and erasures on fep. Captain M. B. Sherwood, Royal Navy, who, having served as a submariner between the Wars, was decorated for his gallantry as C.O. of an anti-submarine trawler flotilla off Norway in 1940, and again for hazardous operations off Greece in the following year: such was the quality of his courage and leadership in the former theatre of war that a fellow officer was moved to observe, 'all of us in trawlers would have gladly followed Martyn Sherwood to hell and back' - here, then, just one chapter from a remarkable wartime career that is recounted in his action-packed memoir, Coston Gun. The author describes his naval career from cadetship at Osborne in 1915 to the end of WW2. Sherwood first went to sea in the battleship Benbow in 1917, then served successively in Wolsey, Cornflower, the submarines L2, L71, Ramillies, and the aircraft carrier Hermes. In 1939 he rejoined the Navy and commanded the armed trawler Cape Pessaro at Norway, before being appointed Senior Officer of a corvette Escort Group. Later in the war he was given the task of ferrying 150 LCT's across the Atlantic before taking command of the destroyer Highlander. The Coston Shoulder Guns- a converted U.S. Springfield Trapdoor Model 1884 rifle in .45-70 (and the similar Winchester Model 1886 Line Throwing Guns, in a 14-5 inch smoothbore of the same caliber)- were used from the late 19th Century through, in some cases, WWII. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
