Entry Text: | STEEL, Philip W. In the Shadow of the Hun. vi, 289p., illus., index. Basingstoke: Paul Cave, 1999. ISBN: 0861460936.
The daily diary of a Union Castle steward. On the outbreak of war he was serving on Windsor Castle. Later he served on Roxburgh Castle and for over two years on the hospital ship Llandovery Castle and finally on the Samtrent. The book is very well-illustrated but the diary amply demonstrates the boredom of war. |
