A quick and easy read that focuses on the four British graves near Ocracoke Village on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and how these men came to be buried there. The book is short and gives basic background and what info there is about the HMT Bedfordshire, it's crew and it's loss. Not the best written book there is, but a quick read I enjoyed very much. Also contains a nice collection of photographs.
