| | King George V's Visits to Scapa Flow |
 | | King George made several visits to the Grand Fleet in Scapa Flow, the first in July 1915, another in July 1916 when he stayed overnight on HMS Iron Duke and visited the flagships of all the squadrons in the Flow (to congratulate them on the Battle of Jutland). |
 | | King George V made another visit to Scapa in June 1917, arriving on HMS Castor during a Force 8 gale and thunderstorm on Thursday 21st. |
 | | If Bill Hewison's details above are correct (and he usually was very thorough - he died in 2001), then the King did NOT visit HMS Vanguard, so the photo of Kyosuke Eto being presented to him was probably taken on board HMS Hercules (a 'Colossus' Class battleship, completed in 1911) on Saturday 23rd June 1917. |
