[Royal Naval College, Dartmouth.] Printed periodicals: Four numbers of ‘The Britannia Magazine’, all from the 1940s, filled with articles, photographs, illustrations and advertisements.

Scarce. None of these four numbers is held by the Imperial War Museum. Motto: ‘Pro Rege et Patria.’ 4to and uniform, with covers of various shades of blue paper. Varying in length from 42pp (Easter 1946) to 64pp (Easter 1940). One number with grubby markings, but the four items in good overall condition, lightly worn and aged. The first perfect bound, the other three with slightly rusty staples. On the cover of each is an illustration by Bernard Partridge of Britannia scanning the sea from the White Cliffs of Dover. One copy with newspaper cutting loosely inserted. Containing editorials, addresses, reports, articles, cartoons, letters from cadets, photographs, illustrations, advertisements. Much of the material is devoted to reports of sports activities and (to a far lesser extent) recreational ones. The first number (Easter 1940) gives details over four pages of officers, masters and cadets at the six ‘Houses’, with a final full-page photograph of ‘The Passing Out Term’.
