About This Item
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2023. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. xxii, 201 pages. A unique saga of the exceptional valour displayed by Australian volunteers who served in World War II as officers with the Royal Navy. Recruited under the Dominion Yachtsmen Scheme, their war service in the Northern Hemisphere was as diverse as it was dangerous. Most sailed in convoy duties in the Battle of the Atlantic and some in the Arctic run to Murmansk in Russia. A small group distinguished themselves in Rendering Mines Safe. The majority served in Combined Operations, which included daring coastal raids, the amphibious landings in the Mediterranean and Normandy, covert operations, and mine sweeping. Later in the war, Yachties also served in the Royal Australian Navy in South East Asia and the Pacific, contributing to victory with bravery, dash and loyalty to country and Empire. As a group they are the most highly decorated Australian volunteers. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . New. 1st Paperback Edition. Trade Paperback.
