  • Channel Islanders
    JOURNAL December 35 2010 The Basra Memorial, 2010 Please note that Copyright for any articles contained in this Journal rests with the Authors as shown. Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All We come to the end of another interesting year in Great War terms, and as ever, it is remarkable that new information continues to emerge to shed a light upon the efforts and involvement of Channel Islanders. Again and again I ask myself why was this or that piece of information not addressed at the time? They are mentioned later in the Journal, but as an example, the deaths of Sergeant Horace Champion and Sister Elsie Gladstone were, as I recently discovered, featured in Jersey Evening Posts in early-1919, yet neither was referred to in any Roll of Honour. The Occupation is often used as an excuse for forgetting about the Great War, but it does not explain what now seems to be indifference for the period of 20 years before. Well, time to step off the soapbox and to acknowledge the contributors for their excellent articles, material, information and contact, not just for this particular issue of the Journal, but for all of this year’s Journals. If I find that assembling the Journal is difficult at times, it is not through as lack of worthy input on your part, it is because my brain has seized up! My thanks and a Merry Christmas to all, in the hope that 2011 will be a peaceful year. This Month’s Cover We recently received a set of photographs (164 in all) of the Basra Memorial in Iraq provided by a contact with American friends working in the area.

PROBLEMSIt has been given to the peoples of Britain to evolve out of chaos a unified system of defensive force which shall serve as a shield to cover widely separated parts of the Empire. It is a task that, like all our tasks, we have been dilatory in beginning. In the latter half of the nineteenth century there was desultory discussion of the sub- ject. At intervals for the next three decades Colonial Conferences talked around the sub- ject in an academic way and passed resolu- tions. It was not all talk, however. Things were done : but the doing was spasmodic, the efforts were not co-ordinated. Local considerations dictated policies and not the best needs of the whole Imperial system. In 1892 Admiral Penrose Fitzgerald wrote in this connection : '* War would doubtless bring about federa- tion immediately.'' 7 8 THE IMPERIAL BRITISH NAVY It is in the hope that such naval federation is at hand, and that it will be achieved with the consent of the several States forming the Empire, that this book has been written.

Earlier in the day Admirals von Scheer and Hipper had put out from their bases upon £ an enterprise directed northward ', in the language of the German Admiralty. 1 The phrase, if it does not conceal indefinite purpose, certainly connotes an enterprise other than the engagement on May 31, though the semi-official narrative of the battle, published on June 5, announced Admiral von Scheer to have left port ' to engage portions of the British Fleet, which were repeatedly reported recently to be off the south coast of Norway \2 Having regard to the patent facts of the naval situation, the statement is merely bombastic, except in so far as the surprise and destruction of a scouting battle-cruiser squadron may have been hoped for.

  • Battle of Jutland Roll of Honour
    Admiral Sir John Jellicoe Britain's "Future Nelson" - The Man and his Work What was it in Sir John's personality that marked him out for his great command? How came it that Lord Fisher, months before war was declared, could speak of him to the writer of these lines as "the future Nelson"? His selection has not been due to any external dominance of character. Indeed, the ordinary man - noting only the Commander-in-Chief's downward look, quick upward glance, and clear outward gaze - would not discern in him a man who was pre-destined for the greatest responsibility and command which any man could bear. On board his flagship the Iron Duke There have been chiefs who have won their way by some dominant force, and have strengthened their position and command by some stern or forbidding expression of character. That is not Jellicoe's way. So far as his great position depends upon personality - apart from the expression of personality in love for the service, and sleepless zeal in mastering its mysteries and in gaining confidence in every step that has led to command – his authority comes from a quality of calm persuasiveness, which makes him beloved and trusted by men in every rank and rating of the Service. His hold upon them is as Nelson’s hold was on the officers and men of the Fleet in his time. His officers are hid colleagues as well as his comrades. The Admiral is an assiduous worker, and is never so happy as when he can work some good for officers and men in the Service.
