Good to hear Jellicoe getting his due recognition.

IMHO he presided over a campaign victory that was more decisive than any other in naval history. Unfortunately he was not blessed with the high profile tactical victories, beloved of the media, that would have secured his historical recognition alongside the greats such as Nelson and Nimitz.

Thanks for the pics and thread, TarJak.

Whilst on the subject of World War One photos, a little while back I was writing some fiction based in the First World War era, and I was looking around for info and pictures to get the feel of the whole time, and I came across this site, which has what are (to date) the only colour photographs of the First World War I have ever seen:

Pretty intense. I think I've only seen one of those before.

Good find.
