Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon
|
The Dover Patrol 1915-1917,
Folks, make sure you read the two volume version, and catch "the rhyming admiral." He writes an original poem at the end of each chapter. Sample:
Watch for shell to ours reporting--
watch for Tirpitz to reply.
Has he marked us in position? Has he spotters
flying high?
Here it comes, with screech and thunder, like a
score of topsails torn
From their bolt-ropes when the blizzard strikes
the canvas off the Horn.

Bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues...
