Excerpt from Documentary History of the War, Vol. 11: Naval Part 4
The following announcement appears in yesterday"s Court Circular: -
The King, attended by Commander Sir Charles Cust, Bart., R.N., and Vice-Admiral Sir Colin Keppel, arrived at the Palace early this morning, on his return from a visit to a portion of the Grand Fleet.
The King has sent the following message to Admiral Sir John Jellicoe on return from his visit to His Majesty"s Fleet: -
"I much appreciate the kind message you sent me. It has given me great pleasure and satisfaction to have been able to visit a portion of the Grand Fleet under your Command. I have been on board representative ships of all classes, and am much impressed by the state of their efficiency and the splendid spirit which animates both officers and men. I have not the slightest doubt that my Navy will uphold its great traditions."
[The message of Admiral Jellicoe to which the foregoing is a reply was not published at the time, and it has been ascertained by inquiry at the Admiralty that no record of it has been preserved in that Department.]
