Series ADM 116

Extent:

146 items

Content Summary:

This Series consists of large groups of subject-related papers which might otherwise have been included in Adm. 1 but which instead were made up into 'Cases'. ADM 116 consists of many such cases (continuing the earlier series in ADM 7). Each case was given an Admiralty Case number by which it was then referred to in the Admiralty digest and other Admiralty sources and which should not be confused with the later piece number.

The Australian Joint Copying Project filmed documents from cases including: papers about naval bases and British naval policy in the Pacific before 1914; Australian and New Zealand navies; naval operations and air naval bases during World War 2; Gallipoli campaign; royal visits to Australia and New Zealand, 1920 and 1927; territorial claims on Antarctic, 1923-1930; British and American claims to certain Pacific islands and reports on Korean War.

Selected extracts only have been filmed from pieces 99, 185, 285, 1434, 1543, 1713, 2149, 2747, 3040, 3132, 3189, 3332, 3486, 3491, 3616, 3623, 3863, 4009, 4106, 5671, 5672, 5674, 5676, and 5680.
