Trouble with Europe? Send for the Navy!
The photographs of the Tommies in the trenches, visits to battlefield museums, the moving poetry and prose of Owen, Sassoon and others all lead us to associate WW1 with the Army. There are fewer images or sites which reflect the activities of the Navy. Indeed “sea power “is a phrase we rarely hear today. The main theme of Jim Ring, our speaker on 24 January, was that the greatest debt was owed to the Royal Navy in WW1 for without sea power we would not have defeated the forces of the triple alliance.
