Entry Text: | MASLIN, A. A. Navy Days: an autobiography of interesting travel mixed perhaps with a little excitement. [viii], 72p., illus., with 4-page introduction tipped in. [n.p.: author, c.1970].
A brief memoir. He joined as a Boy Telegraphist and fought at Jutland. After 24 years service he retired in 1939 as a Chief Yeoman, only to be recalled to the colours that August. He served in various Port Signal Stations at Scapa, Lulworth, Gibraltar, and from mid-1943 on Pretoria Castle. Has little of interest but one or two yarns. |
