No officer could have been better served by his staff than I have been
during these operations. The energy and resource of my Chief of Staff,
Commodore R. J. B. Keyes, was invaluable, and, in combination with
Major-General Braithwaite--Chief of the General Staff--he established a
most excellent working agreement between the two services.
Captain George P. W. Hope, of _Queen Elizabeth_, acted as my flag
captain. His gift of organization was of the greatest assistance in
dealing with the mass of details inseparable from an operation of such
magnitude.
Commander the Hon. A. R. M. Ramsay has used his sound practical
knowledge of gunnery to great advantage in working out, in connection
with the military, the details of gunfire from the covering ships.
Captain William W. Godfrey, R.M., a staff officer of great ability, has
given me invaluable assistance throughout the operations.
I would also mention my secretary, Mr. Basil F. Hood, Acting Paymaster,
and secretarial staff, whose good services under the direction and
example of Mr. Edward W. Whittington-Ince, Assistant Paymaster, will
form the subject of a later separate report. Also Lieutenant-Commander
James F. Sommerville (Fleet Wireless Telegraph Officer), and Flag
Lieutenants L. S. Ormsby-Johnson, Hugh S. Bowlby, and Richard H. L.
Bevan, who have performed good service in organizing with the military
the intercommunication between the Allied Fleets and Armies.
J. M. DE ROBECK,
Vice-Admiral.
