The dramatic sequel to Badge of Glory, China 1900. When the Boxer Rebellion erupts into bloody war. The Royal Marines, true to their motto, are the first to land - and the last to leave. Again, a Blackwood is in command.

The Corps

A first class story by a first class story teller and read by a fine actor who has a facility for the spoken word in this and other stories that is a true gift.

A Ripping Good Yarn

Only gripe is the presence of a Femme Fatale. To my mind she adds nothing to the story and is superfluous.. A great story despite that.
