Here is "Three Before Breakfast" - it is hard to find but it's much, much better than the short summaries on the Aboukir/Cressy/Hogue you find in most history books - you really get a sense of the drama, heroism, and what a tragedy it was for the women & children left behind.
I am sick again (!) , so unfortunately the update pace will be slowed! I'll see what I can do tomorrow on Labor Day....sorry guys.

You know thing is even if it was a mine as Drummond thought that Aboukir hit it was still bloody stupid of him to have ordered the ships into help anyways.
