… of the War at Sea During the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-Before Port Arthur in a Destroyer by Hesibo Tikowara & With Togo by H. C. Seppings Wright

"When Russia and Japan came to war in the East, in the early years of the 20th century, there can be little doubt that Russia's command was hampered by hubris. An imperial power of many centuries standing was required to summarily deal with an eastern upstart which had but recently dragged itself into the modern age. That harsh lessons would be taught was beyond question, however it was to be the Japanese who would do the teaching. The Russo-Japanese War has become a fascinating subject, particularly for students of naval warfare, for it included the Battle of Tsushima. This special Leonaur book is essential for those interested in the naval aspect of this conflict, because it contains two engaging first-hand accounts from the Japanese naval perspective. The first takes the reader into the heart of the action with an officer of a Japanese cruiser, and is an outstanding and unusual account of ‘modern' sea conflict. The second account tells of the sea war as seen by the only civilian correspondent who was permitted to join the Japanese battle fleet in action, making it a unique perspective from a western observer, particularly since the author had personal access to Admiral Togo"

Why are you posting this in the 19th Century Media Message Board when this war actually occurred in the early 20th Century?

Disco…usually "cusp" items get posted across the line.

Happens with WSS, French Rev/Napoleonics, Boer, etc., all the time around here. It's a good way to ensure maximum broadcast coverage.

Tango did nothing out of the ordinary.

Andrew, but it was only posted to the early 20th century. So explain to me how that is posted across the line? It wasn't even posted in the correct board let alone across the line.
So then you are saying he didn't do anything out of the ordinary by not knowing in what century it should go or by not caring where it should be posted?

Knowing Tango's posting habits for years now, when he does post, he usually swarms several Message boards at a time, so it's very odd that he did just the one.

Tango will have to explain his own reasoning, but I should have cross checked before I popped in here too.

Tango0114 Jun 2017 10:23 a.m. PST

The explanation is simple… I touch the wrong button… (smile)… and then forget to crossport to "Early…"…

A simple mistake…

Sorry for that…
