The editor presenting a paper based on A Direct Train of Cordite at the British Commission for Maritime History's New Researchers' Conference, 2013.

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.
