Click and Collect for The Yachties : Australian volunteers in the Royal Navy 1940-45A saga of daring exploits by Australian Yachtsmen Scheme volunteers who served as officers in the Royal Navy and saw action in some of the most dangerous theatres of the war at sea, including the Atlantic convoys, the Artic supply run to Russia, covert operations and the Allied landings. At home, their European war service attracted little attention and soon slipped from memory-a couple of hundred 'Yachties' no longer fitted the national narrative. But the astonishing fact is that they received about 30% of the RAN's officer awards in WWII. With many never-before-published illustrations.
