DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Dover During the Dark Days To begin with. I have been asked, why the title? My reply is, what other? The alliteration is good, it sounds well, and it is true. For when the Hun declared war from the air, Dover certainly had mere than its fair Share of dark days. Owing to the frequency of air raids, and the impossibility of getting early warning of the enemy's arrival, all the lights in the town had to be reduced to a minimum, and special constables, with their constant demands for covering up crevices and. Keyholes, were the bane of Dover's existence. In fact, it may be said that for eighteen hours out of the twenty-four' all was dark. Dark in any other sense of the word we certainly were not. We were never dismal nor doleful; on the contrary, we were always merry and bright. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Ridge of the White Waters, (Witwatersrand) The early September afternoon is unseasonably cold as the Dover Castle starts on her eastward way, against wind and tide, from the roadstead at Port Elizabeth. The vessel, usually one of the steadiest, rolls far too much for the comfort of some of the passengers. For this the ship is not to be blamed; her instability is due to the strike among the dock labourers. She had to leave the port of London With only half a cargo, and has now little else than ballast in her hold.

Annals of Dover

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Annals of Dover: Including Histories of the Castle, Port, Passage, Religion, the Corporation, Mayors Their Times, Corporation Officials, Representation in Parliament, and Social History Port and Fortress as fully as the limits of one volume will permit. In considering the order in which these Annals should be recorded, it had to be remembered that Dover presents many phases, and that, for centuries, many of its institutions have had their special spheres of operation; therefore, I have arranged the Annals in nine sections, under which the histories of the Castle, the Port, the Passage, Religion, the Corporation, the Mayors and their Times, Officers of the Corporation, Dover in Parliament, and Social Life are given. In gathering my materials I have been aided by the many manuscripts stored in the Dover Corporation's Muni ment Cabinet, and other records of Dover which are preserved in the British Museum and the Record Office. In writing of the Castle, however, I had to follow the track of earlier historians, for the original records of thatancient fortress have been scattered or destroyed. It is known, for instance, that an original copy of Magna Charta, deposited at this Castle by Hubert de Burgh, soon after King John signed it, was, in the Reign of Charles I., handed by one of the Constable's Lieutenants to Sir Robert Cotton, who added it to his library, which is now in the British Museum. The same official dealt in like manner with some Saxon Charters and the famous Domesday Book of the Cinque Ports. The scattering of the Castle Records had begun much earlier and was continued later, therefore it is not a matter of surprise that there is little left at Dover Castle to encourage original research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Dover Patrol, 1915-1917, Vol. 1 of 2 The reasons why certain operations were carried out by the Dover Patrol during my period of command of nearly three years, and were carried out in a particular manner, and why other operations were not carried out, are known to me only. In the interest of historical truth, and of the reputa tions of the officers and men, I have felt impelled, therefore, to prepare an account of the work of the Dover Patrol. The interesting part of the history of war to a student, as distinct from the reader in search of sensation only, lies in the reasons that prompted action or inaction, and this is What is usually most obscure in the records, especially naval records, of past years. At Dover during 1915, 1916 and 1917, more operations were initiated and carried out than under any naval command since the wars at the beginning of last century. It may, therefore, safely be assumed that the history of the Dover Patrol during those years will have a value to future students of naval history.

Our force was very weak, but, what ever happened, every destroyer, not boiler - cleaning, would have been ready to engage to prevent the raid or to get some satisfaction out of the enemy before he left. Had we had three times the destroyer force, I could have arranged for an easier routine, but, as numbers stood, this was impossible.
