Summary "The Organisation of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers Explained" by Thomas Brassey, M.P. is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book focuses on the establishment and functions of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, an auxiliary force designed to support the Royal Navy in coastal defense. It explores the rationale behind forming this corps, its organizational structure, recruitment processes, and the training regiment necessary for volunteers to effectively serve in naval operations. In the text, Brassey outlines the significance of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers for national security, emphasizing the need for a volunteer force skilled in boat handling and armed readiness to protect Britain's coastlines from potential threats. He details the specific training required, including proficiency in gunnery exercises and boat management, aimed at recruiting individuals with a maritime background rather than a traditional naval one. The book also discusses the administrative aspects of the corps, such as command structure, discipline, and the integration of volunteers into the larger naval framework, highlighting the importance of community engagement in local ports to foster a sense of civic duty and enhance national defense capabilities.
