Early life
Henry Jackson entered the navy in 1868 and gained an early reputation as a pioneer of ship-to-ship radio technology, where he worked with Marconi, earning himself appointment as a Fellow to the Royal Society. He was promoted through the ranks to Vice Admiral. From 1905-1908 Jackson served as Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy. After that he was promoted to full Admiral and served as head of the Naval War College at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich from 1911 to 1913 and afterwards on the Admiralty War Staff. The arrival of the First World War in August 1914 enabled Jackson to work on the co-ordination of British attacks on Germany's colonial possessions. 1868 (MDCCCLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a leap year starting on Friday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...

First Sea Lord He was selected as the surprise successor to Admiral Fisher upon the latter's spectacular resignation in May 1915. Despite his cordial working relationship with First Lord of the Admiralty (and former Prime Minister) Arthur Balfour, Jackson was sometimes seen to be a weak First Sea Lord, overly concerning himself with administrative matters and ineffectually attempting to extend the Dover Barrage. Jackson did however oppose Winston Churchill's original Dardanelles plans, believing a naval expedition without army support on land to be unfeasible. With British naval success rather low in 1916 arguments grew for Jackson's replacement as First Sea Lord. Consequently Sir John Jellicoe was appointed to replace Jackson in November 1916. 1915 (MCMXV) was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ...
