Book excerpt: A fine piece of research by the late Bill Fevyer and John Wilson team which produced a fascinating history of the politics as well as the naval operations in the Gulf area immediately prior to and after the Great War. The medal rolls are given by ships - no less than 28 involved - and each ship's specifications (type, displacement, dimensions and armament) are given. The selected despatches from the ships engaged and other correspondence are a high point in this excellent document illustrating the type of imperial policing carried out by the Royal Navy and Royal Indian Marine Service.
