Picture No 10528898
Date 1913
Description British Naval personnel, 1913
Details

An illustration attempting to reflect the growth in the number of personnel in the British Navy, which, according to First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, in a speech he made at the Guildhall in 1913, 'is twice as numerous as the next greatest Naval power'. The growth in naval personnel numbers ran in parallel with a massive dreadnought building programme in the years leading up to World War One, triggering a naval arms race among the major powers.
