South Africa and the War at Sea

IN WORD AND PICTURE

by John H Marsh

This is an internet copy of the above publication which was published by my father in approx 1950 in Cape Town, South Africa. It was a small booklet costing two shillings and six pence. There were meant to be many such booklets in the series, but eventually only one was published.
