Dit On! From the Mersey to the Mess Deck - A Witty Royal Navy Memoir

In Dit On! Barton shares a hilarious and heartfelt collection of tales from his time in the Royal Navy. Behind the discipline and traditions lies a completely different reality. That of mess deck banter, questionable decision making, ingenious resilience and a cast of unforgettable characters who could fix a warship with an adjustable spanner, a roll of masking tape and the obligatory alcoholic drink. From absurd situations to the everyday madness of naval life, Barton captures the humour, camaraderie and chaos that defines life below decks. Warm, irreverent and laugh out loud funny, Dit On! is a loving tribute to the individuals who make the Royal Navy what it is.
