Description: | Wireless Telegraph Signal Log of HMS DEFENCE, with ms entries for 2 - 10 August 1914, recording all the signals transmitted and received by HMS DEFENCE, the flagship of Rear Admiral E C T Troubridge, Commanding 1st Cruiser Squadron, during the unsuccessful pursuit of the GOEBEN and BRESLAU in the Mediterranean. The log is of particular interest because Admiral Troubridge was subsequently court-martialled for his failure to engage the German ships and a number of the crucial signals in the Log have pencilled comments, in an unknown hand, next to them.
