The Dover Patrol. By Jackstaffe (J. J. Bell). (Grant Richards.

6s. net.)—This readable little book is mainly con- cerned with the blocking operations at Zeebrugge and Ostend, but describes also the work of our naval gunners in the Belgian dunes, the ceaseless bombing raids of our airmen at Dunkirk, and the occasional encounters of our destroyers with the enemy. The importance of the Patrol is not easily overestimated, as it preserved our main communications with France from attack.
