| Summary | "The British Navy in Battle" by Arthur Joseph Hungerford Pollen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the operations, challenges, and strategies of the British Navy during World War I, with an emphasis on the experiences and sacrifices of the naval personnel. It serves as both a tribute to the naval forces and an exploration of the lessons learned from key naval battles and crises. The opening of the book sets a somber yet proud tone, dedicating heartfelt greetings and gratitude to the members of the Royal Navy and the Naval Reserve. Pollen acknowledges the hardships faced by these men during the Great War and expresses a deep sense of national pride in their achievements and sacrifices. The first chapter provides a retrospective look at the hope and trepidation surrounding naval engagements, recognizing the accumulation of challenges and the bravery of those who served at sea. Through this dedication, the author immediately situates the reader in the context of wartime urgency and the significance of maritime power, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis of naval warfare to follow.
