Excerpt from The Battle of Jutland: 31 May 1 June 1916My little book will treat of two historical meetings between the Germans and the English.The first meeting occurred shortly before the outbreak of the war it was highly characteristic of the relation in which we Ger mans at that time stood toward our present deadly foes, the Bug lish. It was in June, 1914, when a large English squadron visited Kiel. I was detailed as personnel aide to Vice Admiral Sir George Warrender, who was then commander in chief of the ¿eet, for the duration of the stay of the squadron at Kiel. During this time, in which the murder of Serajevo occurred, I, together with the English ambassador, Sir Edward Goschen, and other guests of the admiral, lived on board his ¿agship, the King George V. Early in July, 1914, immediately after the departure of the Eng lish squadron, I wrote down my experiences and the impressions received during this period on board the King George V, from notes kept in the form of a diary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
