Dog Nelson A.B.
By Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell
Published by Frederick Warne & Co Ltd: London 1938 1st Edition

" Dog Nelson A.B. by Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell is a charming and heartfelt story centered around a dog named Nelson who becomes an Able-Bodied (A.B.) seaman in the Royal Navy. Set during the First World War, the book follows Nelson's adventures aboard a British naval vessel, offering a unique and often humorous perspective on life at sea. Nelson, with his loyalty, intelligence, and endearing personality, becomes an integral part of the ship's crew, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that characterized the wartime navy.

Written by a decorated naval officer, the book blends fiction with authentic naval experience, giving readers a glimpse into the everyday lives of sailors during wartime through the eyes of an exceptional dog. Gordon Campbell's storytelling is both engaging and evocative, combining naval tradition with warmth and light-heartedness. Dog Nelson A.B. is not only a tribute to a beloved canine companion but also a celebration of the unbreakable bonds forged at sea amid the trials of war."
