The Harwich Striking Force. The Royal Navy's Front Line in the North Sea 1914 - 1918
As the publisher's blurb says "For the four and a half years of the First World War, the Harwich Striking Force was the front line of the Royal Nany, operating out of the eponymous port and keeping sovereignty of the seas for Britain and her allies".
The Force was under command of a charismatic and aggressive leader, Reginald Tyrwhitt. This is the Force's, and Tyrwhitt's, story of their contribution to the Allied victory.
