My name is Simon Harley and I am a thirty-two year old researcher of the Royal Navy in the Dreadnought Era.
I currently live on the North-West coast of England. For the past eight years I've been accumulating material on the Royal Navy Flag Officers of the Great War, which will eventually form the basis of a multi-volume history of the Royal Navy, from Lord Fisher's going to sea up to the Treaty of Versailles. By providing a background to these Flag Officers' services from 1854 to 1914, their actions in the Great War will be put into their proper context.
If you have any questions or material relating to the subjects of this website, please get in touch or email me at simon AT-SIGN dreadnoughtproject.org. I would be especially happy to hear from descendants of naval officers who served in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
