Letter from WSC (41 Cromwell Road) to [Herbert Asquith, later 1st Lord Oxford and Asquith] suggesting he (WSC) see Maurice Hankey to agree on what should be published on the Dardanelles and Gallipoli operations. WSC has no personal objection to the publication of the War Council minutes and wishes to see each of its decisions concerning the Dardanelles shortly stated. Regrets the result of [the Battle of Jutland] and attributes it to the failure to execute punctually the destroyer and battlecruiser construction programme. Draft in WSC's hand.
