 * I'm afraid you have rather mixed things up with regard to Jellicoe. He was invited to become First Sea Lord before the fall of Asquith’s government, on 22 November 1916, and took up office on 4 December. He was sacked on 24 December 1917. He was appointed First Sea Lord precisely because he retained the confidence of the Navy and the government after Jutland, and his removal from office in 1917 is still the subject of controversy. &mdash;Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 17:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
