I would be interested to learn in some detail about the programme of activities that a newly enlisted man would follow when he reported as a rating for duty to: HMS RALEIGH Torpoint, 13 Aug 41 to 20 Oct 41 And then what training activities happened when they transferred to: HMS DRAKE Devonport, 21 Oct 41 to 7 Nov 41. The dates are from a RN service record. Grateful for the help and advice from forum members.
Best bet is to get a copy of Hostilities Only: Training the Wartime Royal Navy Paperback – 5 April 2004 by Brian Lavery (Author) Quite cheap on Amazon. Tim
Thanks Tim for the book recommendation. I do have a copy which I bought second-hand from Abe books. It is an excellent resource. I was looking for a little bit more detail than that given in the book. Now having re-read pp51-2 I think my question is: what was the syllabus for Part 1 Disciplinary Training in 1941? Grateful for any help or guidance.
