INTRODUCTION
Owing to the peculiar nature and demands of naval warfare, but fewdispatches, corresponding to those describing the work and achievementsof our great armies, were issued during the progress of the war. In aformer volume I attempted to supply this defect in the historicalrecords, which will be available for future generations, so far as theGrand Fleet was concerned, during my period as its Commander in Chief.The present volume, which was commenced and nearly completed in 1918,was to have been published at the same time. My departure on a Navalmission early in 1919 prevented me, however, from putting the finishingtouches to the manuscript until my return this spring.
