“The part played by the navies of Australia and New Zealand in this war is here commemorated in a series of brilliant sketches that are worthy of the fine ships and the brave men they portray.  The authors have collected their data from the personal accounts of men who were in the ships concerned; and with the story-tellers art, they have woven the facts into a vigorous, full-blooded narrative.”
