Sinopsis

One Summer, whilst browsing in his local antique shop, James McCarraher stumbled across something very special. It was an ancient pocket book full of comments, notes and illustrations written by crew members of the WW1 Acheron-class destroyer, H.M.S. Jackal - an historical treasure-trove.The originator of this precious work was an ordinary rating by the name of Arthur MacDonald Hastie, who had left the empty pocket book in 3 Mess with the simple message: 'Trusting my friends will all unite, to make the contents merry and bright.'They certainly obliged. Those that could draw, filled the book with illustrations. Others left a few words, or an amusing ditty or two.The contents of the book are shared here as a small piece of First World War naval/social history for you to enjoy.
