He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1990. [1] The author, appropriately a civil servant after service as a captain in the Army, is singularly qualified to write about George Jellicoe’s early years in the Special Air Service and Special Boat Service and his subsequent time in Government, and she has written equally eloquently about another founder of the SAS: her father Major ‘Gentleman Jim’ Almonds. Her passion for her subject does not, however, blind her to her critical faculties. She also does her subject justice by a delicious sense of self-deprecating humour.I like Aeroplane Jellicoe Aeroplane Jellicoe for me.

Jellicoe was born in Chelsea, London the younger son of Florence Waterson ( née Waylett) and her husband, George Edward Jellicoe, a publisher's manager, and later publisher. [2] He studied at the Architectural Association in London in 1919 and won a British Prix de Rome for Architecture in 1923, which enabled him to research his first book Italian Gardens of the Renaissance with John C. Shepherd. This pioneering study did much to re-awaken interest in this great period of landscape design and through its copious photographic illustrations publicized the then perilously decayed condition of many of the gardens.In 1919, "Sleep, beneath the wave! a requiem" with words by Rev. Alfred Hall and Music by Albert Ham was "Dedicated to Admiral Viscount Jellicoe." [47] As a designer, he often included "his distinctive signature characteristics, such as canals, weirs, bridges, viewing platforms and associated planting by Jellicoe's wife, Susan," as at the Hemel Hempstead water gardens he designed for this new town in the late 1950s. [3] Fittingly, the garden canal he designed in the 1970s for the Royal Horticultural Society's gardens at RHS Wisley to display waterlilies was later renamed the "Jellicoe Canal" as a memorial.

Jellicoe, John Rushworth, 1st Earl Jellicoe (2011). The Crisis of the Naval War. Tredition. ISBN 978-3842425057. {{ cite book}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list ( link) CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list ( link) The author, Nicholas Jellicoe, is the second son of the second Earl Jellicoe, the subject of this biography. Nicholas formerly worked for Rolex, has written two volumes of naval history and lives in Switzerland. At the opening, he presented the home with a copy of the ship’s badge from HMS Iron Duke, Jellicoe’s flagship in the First World War. Motto: Sui memores alios fecere merendo: Remembered for their merits: Virgil's Aeneid, VI, 664]. [4] At his death, Lord Jellicoe was the longest-serving member of the House of Lords, and arguably the longest-serving parliamentarian in the world, having succeeded his father on 20 November 1935 and come of age and sat first in parliament on 25 July 1939. Because he waited until 28 July 1958 to make his maiden speech, a few peers (viz. Earl Ferrers and Lords Renton, Carrington, Healey, and Strabolgi) could have been considered to have been active parliamentarians longer. Moreover, at the time of his death, on the Privy Council only the Duke of Edinburgh (1951) and Lords Carrington (1959), Deedes and Renton (both 1962) had served longer.A reviewer is sometimes expected to be a pedant and the use of words like ‘torturous’ instead of ‘tortuous’ and ‘Wykamist’ betray sloppy proof-reading by an otherwise excellent editor, who is to be congratulated on the maps on Greece and the islands of Crete, Rhodes and the Dodecanese, showing the subject’s raids and escapes. The occasional fast-forwards to Iraq in 2003 and the author’s opinions have no obvious place in an otherwise fast-paced tale of a remarkable man.
