BORN of a need to counter the 155mm guns ranged by the 80ers against the 15-pounders ol the British Army, the ‘tick! gun run‘ as portrayed at the Royal Tournament only touched upon the hardships involved. The tournament run only lasted about three minutes; the real thing dragged on (literally) for months. Cruisers HM Ships Powertul and Terrible had been sent to South Alrica as the crisis
escalated. Tcrrible's C0 and gunnery expert Capt Percy Scott knew his 12-pounders could match
any artillery the Boers brought to bear. He removed tour guns from their mountings and titted them with wheels and axles bought ashore in Durban. A Naval Brigade was hastily formed and sent by rail towards Ladysmith. when the track ran out. oxen and hard labour were used to bring the guns into position. Just 48 hours betore the town was finally encircled. "10 9‘-‘"5 3"iVed "01""? "'51 naval artillery to be employed "
in the conflict. Guns were committed in the battles ol Colenso and SD50“ K°P- B9Y°“dP"-I159 from Queen Wctoria. the gunners were immonalised by Rudyard Kipling who wrote that the sailors had “trundled “WIT W3Y I0 he3Ve" I0 me mne of tour point seven".

THE FLEET's two new assault ships have put to sea side by side for the iirst time.
HMS Albion was iolned in the English Channel by her younger sister HMS Bulwark as the latter conducted trials on the road to operational readiness. Albion. flagship oi the RN's amphibious wing. was declared lit ior iront-line duties in the spring; Bulwark is some way behind her. having only arrived in Devonport lor the lirst time during the summer. As the two 18.500-tonne assault ships steamed around the Channel. Albion's sponsor. the Princess Royal. visited the vessel tor the lirst time at sea (see page 20). Princess Anne spent lour hours aboard Albion and beyond the usual formalities oi meeting crew and dining with 75 members oi the ship's company. she was also treated to a ride in the Royal Marines‘ beach recovery vehicle. ‘The Beast‘. in the ship‘s vast loading clock. The Princess leit Albion with an unusual memento a barbecue for her home. Gatcombe House. built by the engineerin department and Devonport dockyard repa r lirm DML. It should work. too similar designs were used successlully Albion's summer deployment to the U A. “It was a privilege to have the Princess Royal on board and especially nice that she made the time to get around the ship and meet people in their places at work." said LCH 'Wurzel' Warnes. Records on board Bulwark indicate that this was the first time that two RN LPDs have met at sea since January 1991 (HMS Fearless and Intrepid). The lormer Fleet carriers Albion and Bulwark would last have met at least 20 years belore that. Members oi the HMS Bulwark Albion & Centaur Association were also embarked for the day in Bulwark for the lirst time in 35 years. —

NEWS VIEW Love affair that needs rekindling
THERE
currently
organisations working boosting public
are two new towards a broadly common aim awareness of our dependence on —
the sea. Not to mention many. much longer established ones. The two newcomers unfortunately have very similar names. but hopefully this will not serve to muddy the waters. because there is great enthusiasm among all the participants. SeaBritain 2005 is a year-long festival ‘to celebrate Britain's tong love affair with the sea‘ that takes acfvan~ tage of the bicentenary of perhaps the most significant event in that affair, the Battle of Trafalgar which also saw the demise of Britain's best-known and best-loved real-life romantic hero. The organisers hope to raise awareness of the importance ol the sea to us all, its significance in our history. and the many ways it touches our lives in Britain today. Sealfision UK has much the same motives. but is looking to a longer term campaign. Because there are signs in some areas that the love affair is starting to cool off a bit. While bursts of passion still spill forth. as witness the remarkable growth in the boat building business in recent years. the fact that. as the Princess Royal has said. the sea lS for most people simply identified with leisure pursuits. IS profoundly regrettable, suggesting that. in general. the lovers otherwise no longer find they have much in common. Some guidance is urgently required because clearly even a short-term rift would be disastrous. When it is realised how very much we depend on the sea for almost all our trade and how much that trade is protected by the Royal Navy the need for a stable retalionship is obvious. Seavision is looking to the future of both Bntain‘s young people. in raising their awareness of the variety of careers in the maritime sector. and of the future of the sea itself. In particular. conservation was once often seen as opposing the needs of commerce and leisure. That is certainly not always the case and it is high time both parties reached a better understanding —

White bread and hollow appeals

HOLDING the shores ol Walcheren in the autumn of 1944 was a mishmash of German troops. drawn from the Army and Kr-iegsmarine. The core of the defence was provided by the newly-formed 70 lnlanterle Division. Nine out 01 ten men suflered trom stomach ailments. As a result its soldiers received a special diet. chiefly white bread a luxury given Germany's predicament at the time earning the division the name the Brotweiss. or ‘white bread‘. Division. A month before the Walcheren landings. General Gustav-Adolf van Zangen, commanding German lorces in the Antwerp sector. demanded ol his men: “Each additional day that you deny the port of Antwerp and all its resources to the enemy will be vital. In this hour. the eyes of the German people are upon you." Once the Allied assault began. the defenders of Walcheren were cut 011 from the outside world despite the Kn'egsmar1ne's ComGrossadmiral mander-in-Chief. Karl Dénitz declaring: "You are -. not fighting alone. With you is the entire Navy. in fact. the whole German nation which you are protecting by your dogged resistance." Most of the German defenders surrendered rather than light to the last; the ‘White Bread‘ Division ceased to exist. its men dead or

Among them was Cpl John Prettyjohn RMLI who. having been cut oft with his party by a strong Russian column and havinmg run out of ammunition, drove oft the Russians by heaving stones down the hill at them..

How about ‘moni:y for old rope"? in the days of sail it was i:ustom:irv for ships to sell old and rediiridiiiit ropes to slioresiile trailers and trailitionallv this money was shared riiniingst the crew.

With this deadline looming. the Freedom of lnformatioii 'cell‘ at l-‘leet H0 in Portsmouth is looking to raise awareness of the subject. and how it will affect personnel in the Royal
Navy.
Questions could be received
lrom membersof the public on any topic. and the (‘ell must respond within 311 working days with either the requested information or an explanation of why it has not been
provided.
However. this is
law with real teeth and anyone in the service found to have deliberatelywithheld or deleted intorrnation in order to prevent disclosure will be committing a criminal oflence. Although cenain classes of information (such as Special Forces) will be exempt from the Act other traditional ‘no-go areas". including Britain's nuclear deterrent. will not be a closed book; a senior officer will have to decide whether to withhold inforniation is in the public interest. The Act does not recognize marltirigs such as ‘Secret’. ‘To Secret’ and ‘Management’; it wil be for the releasin officer to jti.stif_v why specific ‘tails are held back. "The essence of this new law is to cliangc the starting point for a
ansatvering questions from ‘is there a good reason to answer it‘ to ‘is there a good reason not to’. and that is the message we are trying
ya

Hut it they eta request and fail to pass it on. I n they may well he in hot water." he added. "The Act also gives sailors powthe chalice to ask questnms. ers In New Zealand. a large proportion of enquiries have come from people who work for the government or the l'orec.s." Some of questions most likely been to be asked have alrea answered via an MOI) H I website www.i'oi'.mod.uk. which has been in place for some time. Many searching for Mol) iitfor— people mation already visit this, a large roportion downloading the UH) iles which have been scanned in and published there.

Fishing ileet under tire
LAST month saw the 100th anniversary of one of the strangest incidents in Britain's maritime history when the Russian Fleet opened tire on a group at Hull lishing trawlers. —
The Russian Baltic Fleet under Admiral Zlnovy Rozhestvensky was on its way to do battle with the Japanese 18,000 miles away when in the North Sea extremely laulty inteiii ence oi enemy warships in the area led to its opening ire on the trawiers. One was sunk and several damaged as a result and some of the Russian ships suffered hits from each other. The Aurora had four below the waterline and the ship's priest had his hand shot away. The incident naturally caused outrage as well as being ridiculed in newspapers around the world and Flozhestvensit. only narrowly avoided causing a war between Russia and Britain. His fleet was shadowed by the Royal Navy as tar as west Africa. in May the loilowing year it met up with that ol Vice Admiral Helchachiro Togo at Tsushima where it was practically annihilated. Rozhestvensky was himseil wounded and captured but was well treated by the Japanese. On his return to Russia he was court martialed. however. and died soon after. I A contemporary postcard with an artist's impression of the incident comes from the collection ol Michael —

admiral.
Eventually in 1811 he
reached the title of admiral of the fleet, and the title Lord High Admiral was brought back into use for him in 1827. However it
seems
the
title slightly went to his head and in 1828 on board the Royal Sovereign he hoisted the Lord High Admirals flag and tried to control the fleet. This behaviour brought protests from the king and the prime minister, and bowed by the outcry Prince William resigned his Naval post. But as king his love for the Navy stayed strong.
Sadly one of William's longstanding legacies is the phrase ‘SillyBilly’, a nickname he earnt during his reign.

Here at the Young Readers Club we were
delighted to get a letter from Jordan Mccuskey (mern. 2994). Here's why: ‘I'm really pleased to be a memberof YRC again. I love reading the Navy News.
‘My grandad served in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm from 1942-46 and 1949-56 in HMS Glory, HMS Theseus and Monab VI [an air base in Australia]. ‘My cousin Paul is currently serving in
HMS Cattistock. ‘Grandad went all over the world and stayed in
Malta for three years. ‘I love football. I am goalkeeper for my local team. I also play cricket and basketball. ‘I don't go to Sea Cadets as there aren't any near here, but I am joining the Navy when I'm old enough.’ Jordan also sent us in photographs of the ships on which grandad served, and a copy of the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II signed on board HMS Glory. It's all fascinating stuff. J ordan, thank you so much for writing in to us here at YRC. If someone in our family was in t e Navy do you know much about their life? Ask them for their stories.

destined to stand upon the column had been that of William IV, but after his death in 1837 it was decided that neither he nor his recently crowned daughter Victoria should receive the honour. Instead the time was right to honour Britain's Naval hero, Nelson. The statue had been exhibited in an enclosure close to the base of the column for some days before it was raised to its lofty destination. This process was to take two days, with the legs and lower part of the body raised on the first day, and the upper body and arm united to make the whole on the next.

But when his elder brother Edward VIII abdicated the throne, the conscientious second son became King George VI and ruled from 1936-52.

His dedication forged a strong bond between the king and country. Geo VI instituted the rge Cross and George Medal.
