Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of an Admiral´s Wife, 1903-1916 It was on the 30th of August, 1903, that I became the wife of an Admiral. In other words, my husband relinquished the command of H. M. S. Jupiter, which he had held for eight months, and was promoted to flag-rank on that day. I had been spending six cold and blustery weeks at Ambleteuse, a quiet little plage a few miles beyond Wimereux, and joined him at Torquay when the Home Fleet dispersed after manoeuvres. He was far from being elated by his promotion, which was automatic, although the fact that he had become a rear-admiral at the age of fifty was due to two special promotions for war service and three years as commander of the Royal Yacht, Victoria and Albert.
