Notes
This as another of Naval & Military's facsimile copies of the original publication. With the rise of the U-Boat threat throughout the war, and the massive traffic - both in goods and personnel (mainly U.S. soldiers on their way to the Western Front), the Western Approaches became a very significant area of naval operations. This book is a fine account of the joint Royal Navy/U.S. Navy anti-submarine operations in the Western Approaches. Keble Chatterton was well placed to write this book as he commanded a Motor Launch Flotilla based at Queenstown during this period.
