Summary "The Harwich Naval Forces: Their Part in the Great War" by E. F. Knight is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the significant role played by the Harwich Naval Forces during World War I, detailing their various missions and encounters with enemy forces. The narrative highlights both the valor of the naval personnel and the strategic importance of Harwich as a base for light cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and auxiliary vessels throughout the war. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the Harwich Force, recounting the excitement and determination of the British naval officers and sailors who responded to the declaration of war. Knight introduces key events such as the sinking of the German mine-layer "Königin Luise" and the subsequent loss of the cruiser "Amphion" after striking a mine. He paints a vivid picture of the dangerous and demanding conditions faced by the naval forces while patrolling the North Sea, emphasizing the bravery and discipline displayed by the crews under extreme pressure. This initial portion lays a foundation for the detailed accounts of naval actions and engagements that follow in the book, providing a compelling glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the Harwich Naval Forces during the Great War.
