Naval Heads Not Asked Opinion on Dardanelles
London reports Admiral Lord Charles Beresford told the House of Commons that naval authorities were not consulted over Dardanelles operations and were ordered to proceed. He condemned the conduct as mismanaged and urged a larger army to Serbia, warning the war would continue at heavy cost until policy in the Near East was clarified. Lord Robert Cecil rejected Beresford’s charge that the Foreign Office hindered the blockade.
