Admiral of the Fleet
Sir Roger Keyes, Bt.
Published by
The Reilly & Lee Co.
1941
Hardcover in very good condition, no jacket.
Front end page corner clipped.
Illustrated with line drawings and black & white photographs.
Dedicated to
“The Sub-mariners of England”
“Lieut.-Commander Edwards is to be congratulated on having extracted from official records a brave tale of valour, enterprise, endurance and professional skill, of which the Navy may well be proud; and which should appeal to all who have the call of the sea in their blood.
“Down in the depths the submarine creeps slowly and stealthily away from the scene of her exploits, and then settles on the bottom to lick her wounds.
