	Admiralty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Admiralty was the authority in the United Kingdom responsible for the command of the Royal Navy.
		In 1964 the functions of the Admiralty were transferred to a new Admiralty Board, which is a committee of the tri-service Defence Council of the United Kingdom and part of the Ministry of Defence.
		Admiralty House: This is a moderately proportioned mansion to the south of the Ripley Building, which was built in the late 18th century as the residence of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and served that purpose until 1964.

		While Hankey produced the first official memo concerning the tank (in a memorandum on 'special devices') on 26 December 1914, it was Swinton who organised a demonstration of the Killen-Strait vehicle to senior politicians in June 1915 - almost a year after the war was underway.
		The first combat tank was ready by January 1916 and was demonstrated to a high-powered audience.
		The first battle honour awarded to a tank operator went to Private A. Smith, awarded the Military Medal for his actions at Delville Wood on 15 September 1916.

	Encyclopedia: First Fleet
		The First Fleet is the name given to the group of people and ships who sailed from England in May 1787 to establish the first European colony in New South Wales.
		First contacts were made with the local indigenous people, the Eora, who seemed curious but suspicious of the newcomers.
		Unknown to the first European arrivals, it was to be almost two and a half years before other ships arrived with their cargo of new convicts and provisions.

		His first five months in office were marked by delays in the start of the school year, accusations of government interference in the media, a downgrading of the credit outlook given by ratings agency Standard and Poor's, and the angry resignation of a minister.
		Louly's first act was to announce the formation of a new government, whose composition reflected the need to find solutions to the country's two most pressing problems: the disastrous state of the national finances; and the mounting tension between the Moors and the fl African tribes of the south.
		First appointed to the Moscow city council in 1977, he rose to the position of executive committee leader under Mayor Gavril Popov in 1990 and became deputy mayor when Popov was reelected in 1991.

	GEORGE GRENVILLE - LoveToKnow Article on GEORGE GRENVILLE
		He remained in office in 1761, when his brother Lord Temple and his brother-in-law Pitt resigned upon the question of the war with Spain, and in the administration of Lord Bute he was entrusted with the leadership of the House of Commons.
		In May 1762 he was appointed secretary of state, and in October first lord of the admiralty; and in April 1763 he became first lord of the treasury and chancellor of the exchequer.
		During the latter period of his term of office he was on a very unsatisfactory footing with the young king George III., who gradually came to feel a kind of horror of the interminable persistency of his conversation, and whom he endeavoured to make use of as the mere puppet of the ministry.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir Henry Jackson
		From 1905-08 Jackson served as Third Sea Lord and Comptroller of the Navy.
		He was selected as the surprise successor to Admiral Fisher upon the latter's spectacular resignation in May 1915 (ironically, given Fisher's known detestation for staff officers).
		Despite his cordial (some said insipid) working relationship with First Lord of the Admiralty (and former Prime Minister) Arthur Balfour, Jackson was widely held to be a weak First Sea Lord, overly concerning himself with administrative matters and ineffectually attempting to extend the Dover Barrage.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir Eric Geddes
		Lloyd George, by then Prime Minister, transferred Geddes to the admiralty, appointing him first Controller of the Navy in May 1917 and then installing him as First Lord of the Admiralty two months later, replacing the equally formidable (if curiously hesitant in his current role) Sir Edward Carson.
		Geddes worked equally well at the admiralty (now with the honorary rank of Vice-Admiral), implementing Carson's convoy policy over the head of firm professional naval opposition (he brought about First Sea Lord Sir John Jellicoe's abrupt dismissal during Christmas 1917 over the latter's refusal to implement the policy).
		A "creeping barrage" is an artillery bombardment in which a 'curtain' of artillery fire moves toward the enemy ahead of the advancing troops and at the same speed as the troops.

	MSN Encarta - Winston Churchill
		In 1911 Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith made Churchill first lord of the admiralty, with a mandate to create a naval war staff and to maintain the fleet in constant readiness for war.
		Churchill was again first lord of the admiralty, and during the next eight months he did his best to build up the navy, especially in the field of antisubmarine warfare.
		This meeting was the first of many historic conferences between them, and from it emerged the Atlantic Charter declaring mutual support between the United States and Britain.

	A War of Combinations: First Lord of the Admiralty and First Sea Lord - The Churchill Centre
		Between 1902 and 1914 the Royal Navy faced two crises of immense proportions: the first was an internal struggle between Fisher and his opponent, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford; the second was the internal reorganization and financial reordering to build a fleet sufficient to deal with any threat that the Kaiser might set to sea.
		Fisher’s failing was to exaggerate, to err—as Lord Selborne, a first Lord of the Admiralty, explained to Lord Curzon in 1901.
		In all these matters, as in his relations with his fellow Lords of the Admiralty, there were constant upheavals and the continuing new mounds of the mole, to use Fisher’s own analogy, appeared across the political spectrum.

		Lord John Russell was supposed to occupy a position somewhere between the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
		It was under these circumstances that Lord Palmerston rose to define the position of the Ministry, to vindicate the honor and dignity of the Commons, to avert a collision with the House of Lords, and, in general, to extricate the councils of the nation from an embarrassing and dangerous dilemma.

	United Kingdom: Lord High Admiral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Back when the first lord of the Admiralty was a senior member of the cabinet, the flag was used by the Admiralty Board, to which the powers of lord high admiral had been delegated by the crown.
		The Admiralty flag is still flown at the foremast head of a warship whenever the Sovereign is embarked because the Sovereign is, at common law, the Lord High Admiral, and retains those functions of the office not especially delegated to the Secretary of State for Defence and the Defence Council.
		As a result, the position of Lord High Admiral was taken out of commission, and now inheres in the Queen, who therefore flew the Admiralty flag on her yacht HMS Britannia when it was still in commission.
