1st Edition.
The story of HM Coastguard is inextricably woven into the history of the coastal counties of Britain from the days of the 18th century smugglers to the Royal navy in which men of the service fought in the Crimea and Great War, to defence of the coasts from enemy saboteurs during World War 2.
The role of the Coast guard has been but vaguely understood and this book aims to set the record straight.
