BATTLE OF JUTLAND, LONG-PROMISED OFFICIAL NARRATIVE ISSUED.
LORD JELLICOE UNABLE TO AGREE
The long promised official narrative of the Battle of Jutland was published in book form on July 28th by the Stationery Ofice. It is a well-produced volume of just over a hundred pages, and 'no fewer than forty-five diagrams are used to illi- strate the positions of the units of the Fleet in the course of the battle.
The narrative is based on the despatches of the admirals and the reports of in dividual ships, and The Grand Fleet" by Viscount Jellicoe, the then Comman der-in-Chief, has been used to supplement these "despatches, as have a valuable col lection of personal narratives, largely based on notes made during the action. compiled by Lieuts. H: W. Fawcett and G. W. W. Hooper.
It is pointed out in the introduction that "the Battle of Jutland must appear tu many as a grey mass of ships mancu V- ring in and out of the battle smoke with no possibility of ascertaining their moves ments with clear and definite precision. To attempt to do so is certainly no light task. The official reports of individual captains represent only an effort, often necessarily hasty."to reduce the,, observa- tions of a number of observers into one story and similarly the despatches of the Admirals can be regarded only as a provisional attempt to reduce the reports of individual captains to a single focus.
COMPLETE SURVEY DIFFICULT." From a historical point of view both must be regarded merely as rapid pre liminary sitrveys. By their very nature they could be no more, for a complete survey requires the careful and critical examination of every source of infornia- tim-every log. every signal log, every individual report.
But in a battle where 151 British flags and pendants were flying, this in itself is a heavy and laborious task, and when. in addition: it is remembered that in the case of most ships the signal volumes alone number at least three or four, and the total number of volumes runs into" hundreds, the mere physical labour of arrangement and custody is a consider
able item of work."
Among the appendices is one to meet the wishes of Viscount Jellies under the beading of General Remarks thy Lord Jellicoe)."
LORD JELLICOE'S DISSENT.
Land fellicos expresses his sincerer gret at fading himself compelled to ex- press dissent in any form, but considers | it his duty to draw attention to a Tow of the most important" passages with which he is still unable to agree. The Admiral's first two points of criticism are made in the defened of Adml. E. Thomas, who, he asserts, lies under the insinua- tion by the narrative of being responsible for delay in the Fifth Battle Squadron coming into action. Admiral Jellicoe describes the signals which, he points out, were made by flags. He contends that these signals were quite naturally not easily distinguishable.
