Book Description
The House of Mountbatten derives from the House of Battenberg. The Princess Alice (1843-1873) married Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and they became the parents of Princess Victoria of Hesse (1863-1950) who married Prince Louis of Battenberg. They changed their name to a more English sounding name during the World War I, thus taking on the name Mountbatten. Louis became the first Marquess of Milford-Haven and was the father of four children. Two of the children became wives to the rulers of Greece and Sweden, while another child, Louis (1900-1979), became Earl Mountbatten of Burma and the last Viceroy of India. One of Louis and Victoria's grandchildren is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Battle of Jutland: The Sowing and the Reaping We made many mistakes, and it is our business to-day to see that the lessons have been taken to heart, and that we shall not again be found in such a state that we have to face the greatest crisis in history with improvised methods, working from hand to mouth. It may be said that the result was good enough with such methods; but was it? We have surely no right to continue to rely on improvisation. We in the Navy know well our defects and it is our business to face them, to leave no stone unturned to avoid a repetition of the mistakes from which we have suffered in the past. The work of reconstruction has to be taken in hand with a full knowledge of our requirements, learnt by bitter experience in the past 41/2 years. It must be our endeavour to profit by that experience. The Navy Ls to-day what it has been for the past 200 years, the same sure shield of Britain and the British Empire. The mere repetition of this very true and well-known phrase will not ensure that we remain so. The sure shield must be kept sure. Clear thinking and concentrated effort on scientific lines in the necessary struggle for retrenchment and such economies as certainly will be required must be applied with wisdom and a proper understanding of the problems before us in the light of the knowledge gained during the war. Only so shall we avoid impairing the essential efficiency of the Navy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
