For The King's Service
In two World Wars, nearly 200 railway-owned ships were converted to operate as troop carriers, hospital ships, minesweepers, and seaplane-carriers, while others carried on normal sailings in a world suddenly more dangerous than before. Their crews were drowned, captured, and in one case, put to death by firing squad. This book tells their story.
