Bang is the forth book by Noel who joined the Navy and immediately had some exciting and dangerous adventures. Bangs were regular occurrences during his busy life as a Bomb & Mine Disposal Officer. In 1946 His Majesty, King George VI awarded Noel the MBE, the Member of the British Empire, Military Division for Courage and devotion to duty. Other stories he has included in this book are those that didn't always get national coverage, often to shield the public from devastating news. Now they should be told.
