On 4 December Jellicoe had an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace upon his appointment as First Sea Lord, when he was also invested with the Insignia of a member of the Order of Merit. Admiral Sir Henry Jackson also had an audience with the King, upon taking up the position of President of the Royal Naval College.[1]

Jellicoe later claimed in The Submarine Peril that before becoming First Sea Lord, "I had at an earlier date suggested to the Admiralty the desirability of instituting ocean convoys as a protection against raiders, but was informed that this was quite impossible owing to shortage of vessels for the ocean escort."[2]
