Description: | Ms diary (85pp) kept by an able seaman in the battleship HMS CANOPUS, August 1914 - October 1915, and describing her deployment as a guardship carrying out shipping examination duties in the South Atlantic and South American waters and her marginal role in the Battles of Coronel and the Falkland Islands and her service from February 1915 with the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron during the first months of the Dardanelles operations on patrol and bombardment duties in support of the Allied landings. His diary entries also reflect the discontent of the lower deck at their indifferent treatment by CANOPUS's Captain and officers.
