The skippers of the trawler see- tion are a most valuable division of the naval forces, and they made a reputation for themselves during the War that will live for all time. At the same time, they are a section that is easily alien- ated, for the financial inducement offered by the Royal Naval Re- serve is of comparatively little im- Portance to them in a normal fishing senson, and their service is based on very real patriotism.
When the trawler section was formed in 1910, as a result of the Individual action of Lord Charles Beresford, the rank of skipper was founded by Order in Council, but it was some time before the conditions were sufficiently satia- factory for many of the trawler masters to come forward. In- creased understanding of the nor mal life led to improved 'regula- tions, and during the War they flocked to the Colours at all ages.
In 1916 the rank of Chief Skip- per, R.N.R., was established, with excellent results. Some of the
