On 25 January, 1916, the Commander-in-Chief, Grand Fleet, Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, wrote to the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Henry B. Jackson:

I really do not think that Eustace is the right man for the 3rd BS [Third Battle Squadron] under present conditions. His sea experience is small & none since 1911. … I am sorry for Eustace but I really don't think he should come.[7]
