About this book
Memories, by Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Fisher includes a narrator's account of giving Lord Cromer a précis of the Dardanelles case that did not appear in the commission's report. The narrator recalls asking for a channel into Alexandria Harbour deep enough for a Dreadnought and credits the resulting work with providing an advantageous base in certain contingencies.
An entry records a cordial lunch with Asquith. The entry contrasts the narrator's claim of doing more for the Conservatives with the pension and peerage received from the Radicals. The narrator also considers a preamble listing inspiration, cause, battle, and victory as requirements for a great life.
