Teacups, teacups everywhere and not a beer in sight!

Peter Denton Absolutely! Would imagine it was a "dry" event, unless the tea was "fortified"... :)

a portrait of Admiral David Beatty. Quite popular and with distinct flare, he was also impetuous and over-eager.He made some critical mistakes at the battle of Jutland that may have kept the British from routing the Germans.

www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_201592/Philip-Alexius-D... seems to show the original painting (and offers to supply a copy). www.bridgemanart.com/image.aspx?img=1583e991-9adf-4162-a6... suggests 1911 as the date for the painting. But there were clearly prints made too. See www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portraitLarge/mw122881/... I think the Bain photo may have been of a print rather than the oil painting.

Sir David felt he was special, as can be seen his his using 6 buttons on his coat instead of the normal 8, and the tilt of his cap. Much had been written about him, a charismatic and controversial man with some well documented personal failings and prejudices and some critical mistakes during the Battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland.

Paul O'Farrell Can't thank you enough for this one, Paul! It had been annoying me that we didn't know where it was. Found a lovely snippet on Waterford in the Seaman's Handbook for Shore Leave from 1919:
Sailors' Homes, etc. British and Foreign Sailors' Society, David Beatty, Sailors' Rest, 9 Henrietta Street (No board or lodging, but Recreation Rooms, Bath Rooms, Coffee Bar, free Literature. Sailors are sent to Ossory Hotel, Gladstone St., two shillings nightly, free Library and amusements); Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, Adelphi Terrace (Board and lodging).
