FOREWORD This is a short book relating to an incident that occurred on the Yangtze River of China, 20th, 21st April 1949 where four Royal Navy Ships were by order sent on suicide missions. On these ships H.M.S. Amethyst, Consort, London and Black Swan, servicemen serving on board three of the ships were killed, on all four of the ships servicemen were wounded, this happened at a time when Great Britain was at peace, but it was an incident that took us to the brink of a third world war.  Since, April of 1949 the incident has taken on the term Yangtze Incident, helped along by a book publication and film by that title, the film production, Yangtze Incident has been described as an epic production, and every so often television viewers are subjected to a re-run, of that alleged epic film. It is indeed "Epic" in portraying and distorting the truth of a historical event that took Great Britain as a nation at a time of peace t5o the brink of a Third World War. Neither the book nor the film comes anywhere near to the truth of the overall Yangtze Incident as it was, and how the incident came about, the Yangtze Incident is a story that has yet to be told, it's a frightening story that has been covered up by Government deceit and deception that is an on going saga to this day. To day in this present time questions are being asked as to the legality of committing British Service Personnel to war in Iraq, this at a time when the very large question mark hangs over the Yangtze Incident.    This short story will provide an insight into the truth of the Yangtze Incident, that fifty-three years of British Government deceit and deception has covered up. In providing documented evidence within this book such as I have it can be seen that fifty-three years on, since the time of the Yangtze Incident that brought us to the brink of a third world war, there still exists at Government Ministerial level those who would rely upon the deceit and deception of the past. They are the malignant cancers of war and conflict; they are the grim reapers by political intrigue.                                                   EPITAPH                                                                                       Beneath the hill known as the High Land,                                                            Within Pan Yu Park, Shanghai,                                                            Lie twenty-three R.N. ratings that are but just a few,                                                            Killed in a war like action that was not reported true,                                                            Deceit amid deception led those poor souls to death.                                                            Killed off by U.S.of A. munitions, was from this world they left.                                                            Deprived of honour and dignity, their resting place unmarked,                                                            They remain but one ships company, Grey Funnel line intact,                                                            Oh yes, they are remembered, you can be sure of that.                                                            So to you, who are defaulters, read in to this and that,                           BACK                                 As time is fast approaching, the doffing of the hat.             NEXT
