The Making of a Royal Naval Officer Zusammenfassung

The Making of a Royal Naval Officer Mark Carne

William Carne's life, like so many others in the 20th Century, was defined by the two World Wars. He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet aged just sixteen in 1914. This is his story of his life at sea, from his own memoirs, letters, diaries and photos. It is a humbling account of his time as a midshipman on HMS New Zealand at the Battle of Jutland, to Captain of HMS Coventry in 1941 during the evacuation of Crete. It is also a fascinating insight into society at that time, both in the Service and at home. It is the story of The Making of a Royal Naval Officer.

Über Mark Carne

Mark, who compiled and edited this book, is a grandson of William Carne. He had a long career in the oil and gas industry working in many countries around the world, then became the Chief Executive of Network Rail, responsible for the railway infrastructure of Great Britain. During his tenure the railway system went through the biggest period of investment in a hundred years. New stations, like London Bridge and Birmingham New Street, were built and hundreds of miles of electrification was carried out. He was appointed a CBE for 'Services to the Rail Industry' in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 2018. He now lives in Cornwall, just a few miles from where his grandparents grew up and later retired.
