This nostalgic handbook from the archive of the National Maritime Museum was originally published in 1909 and was intended to "interest and educate the public mind in the men who constitute the first line of our defensive forces." In these pages, each rank found in the Royal Navy is beautifully illustrated with images of its uniform and markings, with additional information provided on the distinctive insignia of each rank of officers in the Royal Navy in the Executive and Civil branches, as well as the distinguishing badges of petty officers, men, and boys.… (mais)

I am pleased that the National Maritime Museum published a reprint of the 1909 original and especially so as both my former branches in the Senior Service are covered in three sketches - here as Admiral's Secretary, Paymaster and Writer. "Who would be a Paymaster? Surely he earns the pay he gives himself!!!" write the anonymous authors - I think most "Pussers" (Supply Officers in my time, now Logistics Officers) would relate to that! Disappointing that, in the Introduction, a ship is referred to as It rather than She - Maritime Britain should do better than this. It's a pity that the book's binding is such that, on pages 6 and 7 of the reproduction of the first edition, one whole row of the illustrations of "Distinctive Ranks of Officers in the Royal Navy" is pretty much lost - I am curious about the sleeve lace for the Staff Paymaster but it's lost in the binding!
A search in my copy of The Navy List April 1912 would, I hoped, reveal the identity of the authors, who use only their initials. F W R M is Naval Chaplain (and Naval Instructor) Francis W R Metcalf MA RN - he had joined the RN in 1900 and was serving in the battleship HMS Colossus from 1911. There are listed three officers with the initials J S H but all are rather junior and I'd have thought it unlikely that they were co-authors; of course, J S H could have left the Service between 1909 and 1912. I wish the National Maritime Museum had done this detective work and revealed for us the names of the two authors! ( )
