This book has been recommended by Dennis O’Rorke.
You may be interested in a new book which I got out of my local Library called “HOSTILITIES ONLY – TRAINING THE WARTIME ROYAL NAVY” by Brian LAVERY written in conjunction with the National Maritime Museum and published by Conway Books ISBN 9781844861460. A very interesting read detailing the development, training, promotion etc. of the RN before and during WWII. Useful to see where our training methods came from and I would imagine that most of these were still in use by the RNZN in the 50s. See if your local library holds a copy and let us know what you think.
Thanks Dennis for the contribution.
