Description

History of Submarine Mining in the British Army is a detailed work of military history tracing the evolution of the Submarine Mining Service from 1863 to the early 20th century. This fascinating nonfiction study explores how military engineers adapted land-mine technology to protect coastal fortresses, creating an entirely new branch of defence strategy within the British Army.

Within its pages, History of Submarine Mining in the British Army covers the development of underwater mines, the technical methods used by the engineers, and the expansion of the service into India and other colonies. It also offers rare insight into the daily lives, training, and specialised skills of the personnel who pioneered this unique form of naval-adjacent warfare.

A scarce and highly specialised reference, this book is ideal for readers interested in engineering history, Victorian military innovation, and the lesser-known branches of coastal defence.
