A scarce early issue of The Britannia Magazine, the journal for the Cadets at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. The magazine was founded in 1884, and at this time in its history was published three times a year (Easter, Midsummer, and Christmas). This magazine contains photographs, an editorial, sports and recreation, cartoon, letters from cadets etc, and with sports results for the season. This issue mentions the visit of Earl Beatty, a report on the visit of Captain HRH, the Prince of Wales, to the Imperial Japanese Naval College at Etajima, an account of being at the Dardenelles in 1915, and the Greynvile Term on board HMS Sturgeon on escort duty. There are plenty of cricket results for the college and team photos etc,. The last three pages of text are the names of the officers, masters and full list of cadets, with a group shot of the Greynvile Term.
