Description
Excerpt from British Railways and the Great War, Vol. 2: Organisation, Efforts, Difficulties and Achievements
So, within the range of the Orkneys and Shetlands, a relatively immense population - many, if not most, of whom would require to make at least occasional journeys to or from the South by rail - was eventually to be found, while practically all would be dependent on Fleet Post Office A for their mails. Apart, therefore, from questions of naval strategy, one realises still more clearly from the facts here given what an important part the line of communication represented by the Highland and the other railways connecting with it played in the war time experiences oi all who were directly concerned in the movements or the maintenance of the Grand Fleet.
