EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of ephemera offers a glimpse into the historical events surrounding the end of World War I through the experiences of Wilfrid J. Jenkins, a Signaller aboard H.M.S. Mersey in 1915. The collection includes two framed Naval Signals, both significant to the momentous period. The first signal, dated November 11, 1918, was sent at 10:56 a.m. from the Navy Office in Southend to the General System Wireless Transmission, carrying a message from The Admiralty regarding the Armistice (1014). This message marked the official announcement of the end of hostilities, a momentous occasion that brought relief and joy to the world. The second signal, dated November 21, 1918, was sent at 10:45 a.m. from the Commander in Chief, Grand Fleet to the Admiralty, reporting the German High Sea Fleet being brought to the Firth of Forth (1005). This signal marked the surrender of the German fleet, ensuring the safety of the British Isles and ultimately contributing to the peace that followed the Armistice. The collection also includes Jenkins' dog tag, letters, and Signallers Badge, adding a personal touch to the historical items. These objects serve as a poignant reminder of the individuals who played their part in shaping the course of history during this pivotal time.
