About this listen

The dramatic sequel to Badge of Glory, China 1900. When the Boxer Rebellion erupts into bloody war. The Royal Marines, true to their motto, are the first to land - and the last to leave. Again, a Blackwood is in command.

The Corps

A first class story by a first class story teller and read by a fine actor who has a facility for the spoken word in this and other stories that is a true gift.

A Ripping Good Yarn

Only gripe is the presence of a Femme Fatale. To my mind she adds nothing to the story and is superfluous.. A great story despite that.
