ADMIRAL SIR DAVID BEATTY RECEIVES THE FREEDOM OF LIVERPOOL. The granting of the freedom of Liverpool to Admiral Beatty was accompanied by a great popular manifestation of the affection and regard people have for the Navy. Sir David, who is seen inspecting the Guard of Honour, in acknowledging the freedom, said: “The Navy has learnt many lessons during the last four and a-half years. We have made many mistakes, and it is our business to-day to see that the lessons have been taken to heart, that we shall not again be found in such a state that we have to face the greatest crisis in history with improvised methods and working from hand to mouth.”
