Jellicoe was placed on the Retired List on 5 December, 1924.[1]

In November, 1928, Jellicoe was elected to a seat on the Board of Directors of the Midland Bank.[2] In early 1930 he was appointed to the London Board of the Australian Mutual Provident Society in the place of the late Sir George A. Cockburn.[3]

Royal British Legion

Jellicoe was compelled by illness to stand down as president of the British Legion in 1932. He wrote to the Legion's chairman, Colonel John Brown:

The doctors have convinced me that I shall never be fit for the work of president again. I regret exceedingly having to write to you to inform you of this, but all the doctors who have attended me tell me that I must of necessity give up the work, as I cannot possibly be fit to carry it out. Will you, therefore, take this letter as my official resignation after Whitsun. I need hardly say that I do not wish to drop the Legion work, and that I am ready to do what I can.[4]
