OP Tom Golding-Lee (2007 - 2013) has written a chapter for a excellent new book titled Sailors, Ships and Sea Fights which will be of interest to anyone with a love of naval history.  The Book is published by Helion and Co and looks at a forgotten victory of the Royal Navy during the American Revolution, the Battle of St Lucia in 1778.

Tom has dedicated his chapter in memory of Robin Brodhurst, as Tom says, without whom he would never have become a military historian.
