Description: | Ts memoir (5pp) entitled "Recollections of a Junior Officer on HMS DEFENCE", written in 1979, covering his service as a Sub Lieutenant in HMS DEFENCE (1st Cruiser Squadron, Mediterranean Fleet) during 1914 and describing the ship's cruise in the Adriatic that summer, during which they had some contact with the officers of the German cruiser BRESLAU, and the unsuccessful pursuit of the GOEBEN and BRESLAU after the outbreak of war. Warner is very critical of the disposition of HMS INFLEXIBLE, the fleet flagship, during these operations and of the failure to land troops on the Gallipoli peninsula immediately after Turkey's entry into the war.
