The author of this book writes with personal knowledge and experience of the work done by the Dover Patrol, which he watched at its difficult and dangerous business.
Its functions were of the highest importance. It had in the first place to guard the great route to France, the main artery of our Army on the Western Front, from attack both by German surface craft and submarines. It achieved this task with extraordinary success against a most energetic, brave, and enterprising enemy. In no single instance was a British transport with troops on board assailed by this enemy.
