Jones, Al Haines, Cindy Beyer, and the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team "The Silent Watchers" by Bennet Copplestone is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the Royal Navy's experiences and contributions during the Great War, emphasizing the concepts of naval tradition, training, and the unique spirit that defines the Navy. It reflects on the individuals within the service, their sacrifices, and the collective strength they possess. The opening of the work introduces readers to the atmosphere among naval officers in June 1916, following the Battle of Jutland, one of the largest naval battles in history. Captured in a candid conversation on a golf course, the officers discuss their experiences during the battle, contrasting the excitement of naval engagement with the monotony encountered during action. They express frustration over public misrepresentation of their victories in the press and discuss the essence of naval discipline, camaraderie, and the importance of capability and valor amongst the crew. The narrative sets a tone that highlights both the challenges faced by the Navy and the intrinsic pride in their service amidst war.
