Revision as of 06:20, 19 December 2019

The Naval Staff Monographs (Historical) were produced by the Historical Section of the Royal Navy's Training and Staff Duties Division and published from 1919 to 1939.

An introduction to the first monograph in the first volume issued in July, 1919, reads:

These monographs have been compiled by the Historical Section of the Training and Staff Duties Division of the Naval Staff from Admiralty Records and original papers in the temporary custody of the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence. They are intended to give an account of the actual course of events and their causal connection so far as can be ascertained from official documents and records. They are not intended to be critical and the tables and constant references to positions preclude any attempt to be literary. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 deal with much the same subject, but were originally compiled seperately for the use of the Staff College.[1]

The Royal Australian Navy has made freely available, in .pdf format, all the Naval Staff Monographs (Fleet Issue) for the First World War.[2]
