Published in 1942 it contains some of the official history of the RAN in WWII as well as stories written by serving officers and men. There are also quite a few photo's, paintings as well as some cartoons obviously drawn by sailors. I've been reading about the RAN's preparations for WWII and some of the first actions they were involved in. There is quite a bit about the Med campaign obviously but also some very interesting stuff about armed merchants against German surface raiders in the Indian Ocean.

Picked it up for AU$10 at a market stall.
