The In & Out

A history of the Naval and Military Club

Description

The Naval and Military Club – or the 'In & Out' as it is affectionately known – is one of Britain's greatest and oldest service clubs and this book tells its rich and entertaining history for the first time.

Lavishly illustrated, it captures the essence of British style inside one of London's grandest clubhouses – first with a famous home in Piccadilly and now in St James's Square. Over 150 years, its members have included numerous Victoria Cross winners, triumphant generals and admirals, even bold explorers.

There are intimate tales of brave soldiers and sailors – alongside a few rogues and accounts of scandalous behaviour!
