Proposals for destroying enemy submarines.

Folio 1: Title page.

Folio 2: Explanatory note.

During the period of the War, papers of a confidential nature in the office of the C-in-C Home Fleet were filed in Packs (numbered separately from the non-confidential records) in a Series 001 to 0042 inclusive. Copies of germane telegrams were filed in these packs, but a complete set of all telegrams was also maintained. The secret packs were re-arranged by the GF Secretarial staff in February 1919, when papers considered unimportant were removed and destroyed, and the remainder re-indexed. They were received in this form by the Historical Section in April 1920, and bound as received, in a series of Volumes. The 1919 index will be found in the first volume and extracts therefrom have been inserted in each succeeding volume. This volume is the 48th of the series.

Folio 3: Index for this volume.

Folios 4-5: Blank.
