Formed in August 1914 from the First Fleet and elements of the Second Fleet of the Home Fleets, the Grand Fleet included 25-35 state-of-the-art capital ships. It was initially commanded by Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. He was succeeded by Admiral Sir David Beatty in December 1916. The Grand Fleet was based first at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands and later at Rosyth on the Firth of Forth. It took part in the biggest fleet action of the war - the Battle of Jutland - in June 1916. In April 1919 the Grand Fleet was disbanded, with much of its strength forming a new Atlantic Fleet.' ***'Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, SGM, DL (5 Dec 1859 - 20 Nov 1935) was a Royal Navy officer. He fought in the Anglo-Egyptian War and the Boxer Rebellion and commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during the First World War. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial. Jellicoe made no serious mistakes and the German High Seas Fleet retreated to port, at a time when defeat would have been catastrophic for Britain, but the public was disappointed that the Royal Navy had not won a more dramatic victory given that they outnumbered the enemy. Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoys, but was relieved at the end of 1917. He also served as the Governor-General of New Zealand in the early 1920s.' (Wiki) ***A monumental study of the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy, and the Battle of Jutland, well illustrated with maps and photographs, published just after the end of the First World War. A wonderful historical work, published shortly after the end of the First World War. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, SGM, DL (5 December 1859 - 20 November 1935) was a Royal Navy officer. He commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during the First World War. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial. The public was disappointed that the Royal Navy had not won a more dramatic victory. Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoys, but was relieved at the end of 1917. This book covers the period from the outbreak of World War I to the end of November 1916, and includes four chapters (pp. 306-417) on the Battle of Jutland. From a posting by Gordon Smith on Naval-Historydotnet "This account of the formation of the Grand Fleet by such a famous Admiral, and especially by the man who was British Commander-in-Chief during the Battle of Jutland, is indispensable to any researcher or scholar of World War I who wants to start to understand the vastness of the war at sea and its near fatal impact on Britain and her Allies. It is particularly interesting to read Jellicoe's account of Jutland, written before much of the smoke of battle had cleared, and to realize what tremendous risks such men had to take.".

According to Earl Jellicoe's The Submarine Peril (London: Cassell, 1934), p. 34: 'The "Organizing Manager of Convoys," who was Paymaster-Captain Eldon Manisty, R.N., appointed June 25, 1917. He controlled all sailings of convoys, and arranged programmes of their assembly, sailing and dispersion. He also detailed escorts and Commodores, and acted generally as the Executive Authority of the system.
