Scope and Contents

Letter from Sir Ian Hamilton (1 Hyde Park Gardens, [London]) to WSC expressing disappointment at the report of Commodore Francis Mitchell's committee on the Dardanelles defences. Criticises the credentials of the committee's military members, whose attitude prevented the committee from giving sufficient weight to the good evidence that a purely naval attack would have succeeded at an early stage in the campaign.
