THE ROYAL NAVY
SPIRIT AND SERVICE AS FINE AS EVER VERY LARGE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES (Rec. 10.50 a.m.) Rugby, April 5. In spite of the very large number of casualties the spirit and service of the Royal Navy in the face of all difficulties is as fine as ever they were, said Mr Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, at the Mansion House. The Navy had maintained its standard in the face of far greater odds and, speaking generally, much greater difficulties than perhaps at any time in its history. Speaking of naval casualties Mr Alexander said they had been very high in destroyers, escort ships, submarines, minesweepers and trawling patrols.— 8.0. W.
