This nostalgic handbook from the archive of the National Maritime Museum was originally published in 1909 and was intended to "interest and educate the public mind in the men who constitute the first line of our defensive forces." In these pages, each rank found in the Royal Navy is beautifully illustrated with images of its uniform and markings, with additional information provided on the distinctive insignia of each rank of officers in the Royal Navy in the Executive and Civil branches, as well as the distinguishing badges of petty officers, men, and boys.

A search in my copy of The Navy List April 1912 would, I hoped, reveal the identity of the authors, who use only their initials. F W R M is Naval Chaplain (and Naval Instructor) Francis W R Metcalf MA RN - he had joined the RN in 1900 and was serving in the battleship HMS Colossus from 1911. There are listed three officers with the initials J S H but all are rather junior and I'd have thought it unlikely that they were co-authors; of course, J S H could have left the Service between 1909 and 1912. I wish the National Maritime Museum had done this detective work and revealed for us the names of the two authors! ( )
