In Earl Jellicoe, the British Empire sees one who personi- fies all the finest and highest traditions of the "Silent Service," the British Navy. In Earl Jellicoe, the Canadian Legion sees one who took up the burden which was .laid down, at his death, By the Late Ficld Marshal Earl Haig, and became the head of the great organization of the Empire's service men and women, on which the sun never sets. We welcome him as head of the British Empire: Service League, but more so as the great leader who, in the days of war, kept the seas inviolate for British 'men and British ships, and made the final victory possible by keeping the enemy's ships from the high. seas, John Rushworth Jellicoe was the son of an English sea captain, and was born on December 5, 1859. He entered the navy in 1872, and became a lieutenant in 1880. Before he was 23 years old, the future commander- in-chief of the British Navy saw war service in the Egyptian campaign of +1882.. From 1898 to 1901 he was fighting in China, commanding the British Naval Brigade, which, with American and other forces, went to the relief of the Peking Legations besieged by the Boxers. During this campaign he was severely wounded, but made a remarkable recovery. After his stirring experiences in China, he returned to England and was employed far a time in the Admiralty. In 1907, however, he once more hoisted his flag,--this time as second-in-command of the Atlantic Fleet. When the war began in 1914, it found Jellicoe as commander-in- chief of the British Home Flegts, the greatest aggregation of fighting ships ever brought together under 3ne flag, including every type of ves- sel from armed trawler to superdreadnought. With this high office went a multitude of huge responsibilities, yet had they 'been doubled, or even trebled, they would not have shaken the indomitable will, and dashing courage of "Hell Fire Jack" as Jellicoe was known to the bluejackets of his vast fleet. The task of protecting the British coast, counteracting the destructive submarine campaign, blockading the German Navy, kegp- ing his own fleet ready for any movg the enemy might essay, all came 'under- the jurisdiction of Jellicoe. How these problems were solved is a matter of still recent history, the telling of which reflects notliing but the highest credit upon the "Little Admiral with the big brain" as he frequently was called in naval circles. The climax of a long scrvice to his king and country was reached by Earl Jellicoe when as Commander-in-chief of the British grand fleet, he engaged the German Navy in the only important sea fight of the world war, the Battle of Jutland, fought on May 31, 1916. The engagement, while ranking as one of the great naval battles of history, was indecisive from the general viewpoint, both sides: claiming to have the better of the fighting. Yet it marked the last occasion on which the German Battle Fleet emerged from the safety. of its harbors. In November, 1916, Earl Jellicoe was appointed First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, and came ashore to direct the naval policies of the Empire. For thirteen months he bore the responsibilities of that position, and was succeeded by Vice-Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, while he was elevated to the House of Lords as Viscount, Jellicoe of Scapa. After the Armistice, Earl Jellicoe received the thanks of the British parliament, and was made a grant of $250,000 for his services to the nation. At the same time, he was raised to an earldom, and received the Grand Cross of the Bath, and the Order of Merit. Many other decora- tions were showered upon him during his long career, but the most valued mark of appreciation was doubtless the message which he received from His Majesty King George a few days after the Battle of Jutland, in which His Majesty, in replying toa birthday message, said :-- "The events of last Wednesday amply justify my confidence in the valor and efficiency of the fleet under your command." After the war, Earl Jellicoe took a keen interest in the men who served under him, and, on the death of Field Marshal Earl Haig, he acceded to an unanimous request that he become Grand President of the British Empire Service League. It is in that capacity that he has, in recent years, served his country and his comrades, and it is in that capa- city that he is welcomed to Oshawa and to the Annual Convention of the Ontario Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion.
