Fighting from Below: A Diary of a WW1 Submariner

Step inside the "tin boxes" of the Great War and experience the silent, deadly world of "The Trade."

In 1918, Douglas William Mordick Adams served as a telegraphist in one of the most dangerous branches of the British Royal Navy. At just 5'5", he was perfectly sized for the cramped, paraffin-scented interior of the HMS E53, an E-Class submarine stalking the North Sea and the Atlantic.
