Summary "Under the Ensign of the Rising Sun: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War" by Harry Collingwood is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Paul Swinburne, a young British midshipman dishonorably discharged from the Royal Navy due to the malicious scheming of his jealous cousin, Bob Carr. The plot unfolds as Swinburne seeks redemption by joining the Japanese Navy amidst the backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War. The opening of the novel introduces Paul Swinburne as he grapples with his unjust expulsion from the Navy. The narrative reveals his past triumphs at naval academies and his close bond with fellow midshipman Ronald Gordon, who encourages him to consult his parents and seek their support. Swinburne learns of an opportunity to join the Japanese Navy through his connection with the influential Gordon family. As the story progresses, we see him navigate the complexities of his new situation and the impending war against Russia, setting the stage for his adventures and the challenges ahead.
