Revision as of 10:46, 20 January 2011

Simon Harley is a 25 year old student devoted to defending the good name of the Royal Navy during the Dreadnought Era. The only way to be sure of doing this properly, is to present every possible detail on the men, the machinery and the organisation which made up Britain's "sure shield". The same approach will be applied to the other navies featured on this website.

He currently lives on the North West coast of England, and is studying for a law degree. His first article, on Balfour at the Admiralty, is in preparation for publication.
