War and Military

Lt. Noel Cashford M.B.E RNVR served for six years in the Royal Navy's Mine and Bomb Disposal Squad. During the time he made safe over 200 devices, 57 in a mere three days. Noel didn't intend to be a daring hero as poor eyesight had prevented him from him joining the surface fleet. When the opportunity arose to do something more exciting than administrating, he naturally went for it, little realising that he would end up defusing bombs and mines.  

Over the last few years Noel has written a comprehensive range of books about not only his experiences but also of other bomb disposal officers from 1939 to modern day. These books are a collection of some of their stories and are a touching and humorous account of their dangerous job where, in the early days of the war, you could be lucky to last more than just a few months.
