About this copy
This is the 1984 first edition of this softcover history of the Royal Navy's Sick Berth Branch, tracing its development from the 'Loblolly boys' of Nelson's era through to the modern paramedical staff of the Royal Navy. The copyright page states 'First published 1984' with no later printing noted. Issued as a paperback; no dust jacket was ever produced for this title.
Condition
- Book
- Good – a well-handled reading copy. Corner wear and rubbing visible to front and back covers, with some creasing to the spine and cover edges. A small pencil price annotation appears at the top of the title page. Pages are clean and intact where photographed.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
