MEMORANDUM ON THE COLLECTION
AND DISTRIBUTION OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE
ON FOREIGN STATIONS.
SECTION I.
Introductory.
l. The existing Intelligence Organisation on .foreign tatious has been designed
primarily for the c')llection and distribution of intelligence concerning the position
and moYemeuts of foreign and suspicious vessels and for the protection of British
trade iu time of war.
PreYious to the introduction of this organisation it was t.he custom for Consuls
and Colonial Officials, &c., to address telegrams and despatches concerning movements
direct to the or 8.:\ .O.'s of the various stations.
It was found in practice, howe\' er, that this .procedure was inefficient, as telegrams
addressed in this manner freqtlently took many days or even weeks to reach thei1
destination, owing to the fact that the S.N.O. was at sea, or that Consuls, &c., were
not aware of the posi tion of the Flag hip.
In some cases a1 o Consuls, &c., being unaware of the position of the Flag Ship,
repol'ted to the Admiralty onl.v and left the Naval Authorities on the station without
information.
In addition, on board H.:\I. Ships sufficient cabin and office accommodation is not
available for the staff requir ed to cany out intelligence work efficiently in time
of war.
3. In order to l'emedr these defects, Intelligence Centres, each having a definite
area of observation, wer e established at various ports throughout the world, and
arrangelllents were made for intelligence from all sources to be transmitted thl'Ough
these Centres, the General Staff .r'ayal ) or other Officers in charge of the Centres
being responsible for the notation, sifting, and distribution of all information r eceived
in accordance with the instructions contained in this Memorandum.
4. under this organisation Consuls, &c., now know exactly where to forward
intelligence both i n peace and war, and the C.-in-C. or S.N.O. of each station can
obtain all reliable information with the least possible delay by keeping the
Intelligence Centres informed of his movements.
5. The system of Intelligence Centies was also designed with the following objects,
namely:-
(a) In order that in each area of observation reports from every source on all
matters likely to affect the operations of H.hl. Fleets should pass through
one " clearing house," i.e. the Intelligence Centre, which would thus be in
a position to form a sound opinion of the value or otherwise of information
received, and would so far as possible prevent false r eports from. being
forwarded to H.r.I. Ships and other authorities affected.
It should be borne in mind that intelligence obtajned by individual
ships, Consuls: Agents, &c., will usually be local in nature and should
generally be accepted with reserve, until confumed by the Intelligence
Centre.
The Intelligence Centres, therefore, are the proper channel through
which all intelligence is passed to the C.-in-C. or S.N.O., except in cases of
urgency. In the latter case a copy of any intelligence telegram which.
has l)een sent direct should be repeated to the Intelligence Centl'e for
inforlJlaiion.
(b) For the protection of British Consular Officers. As r egards this point British
Consular Officers at foreign ports ha\e from time to time incurred the
suspicion of local authorities by constantly sending cypher telegrams
addressed to liM. Ships or Naval Authorities. and it has been hinted by
certain foreign Governments that Consuls, who continued this practice,
would be regarded as undesirable and their r ecall asked for.

(see paragraph 17) n-ill be the control of the ?r
Naval Officer on whose staff tbey have been placed and Will.commurucate d1rect With
the latter in all matters connected with their intelligence duties.
9. In order that they may be able to out duties efficiently, and
have all intelligence, which may be requued, ava1la?le for ready r eference, 1t 1s
essential that they should be kept informed o the VIew?, plans, and movements of
Senior Naval Officers operating in their areas of observatiOn. The method of com-
munication during a contemplated cr uise be settled beforehand. . .
'l'hey should also be kept informed at all times of any war orders which affect the1r
areas.
10. Wit h the exception of reports of movements, which will be t elegraphed direct
to all Authorities concerned, communications from Officers in charge of Admiralty
Centres should, as a rule, be made through the officers on whose staff they have been
placed.
11. Since, however, it is impossible for the C.-in-C. or S.N.O. to attend to every-
thing himself, and as it will occur at times that these Officers will be operating at a
distance from the Intelligence Centre, it is necessary that authority should be
to the Officers in of .the Centres for dealing with urgent
routme matters (such as forwarding mtelhgence reports bv despatch or requestinCY
information fmm H.M. Ships) connected with his duties. o
12. At Admiralty Intelligence Centres where there is no Establishment
or to which no S.N.O. has been appointed, the G.S. O. (Naval) or other Officer in
charge of the Centre will car ry out the duties of S.N. O. of the port.
13. Offi cers in charge of Admiralty Int elligence Centres will communicate direct
with the Director of the Intelligence Division, Admiralty, by reference sheet on all
matters connected with their intelligence duties.
14. Officers in charge of Centres ?ther than :A-.dmiralty Intelligence Centres (see
para. 17) are the control of. vanou_s Authonties, but work in close co-operation
with the Admualty system, and With Semor Naval Officers on whose st ation they ar e
situated.
They will forward t elegraphic reports of . movements direct to all Authorities
affected, but as regards other correspoudence will be governed by such regulations as
may have been laid down by the Authorities under whose control they are.
15. The principal duties of the Officers in charge of Intelligence Centres are:-
(a) The collection and distrib11tion of . concerning the position and
movements of foreign and suspiCIOUS vessels, and the protection of British
trade.
(i:J) The study of foreign countries in their respective areas of observation, and
the correction of I.D. books concerning such countries-.
(c) The issue of directions to Reporting Officers in connection with the calling
out of the Royal Naval Reserve abroad.
( J) Local Defence Questions.
In the present Memorandum the above duties are divided into sections, and are
dealt with successively.
The duties of the General Staff Officers (Naval) will be strictly limited to those
enumerated above, and no additional duties should be allotted to them locally without
reference to the Admiralty. '

16. _-\. , ystem of XaYal Intelligence for use in war has been established on foreign
stations with the following objects :-
(a) To ensure that on and after the outbreak of hostilities the Admiralty and
Officers commanding detached squadrons or ships will be kept informed of
the distribution of all ships of war and merchant vessels, and of other
matters likely to affect the operations of the
(b) To give such warning, information and advice to British merchant vessels as
will enable them to aYoid capture and molestation by the enemy.
To effect these objects an organisation is maintained in time of peace closely
approximating to the system which will come into force in time of war.
17. In connection with this system, Intelligence Centres have been established at
nu-ious ports, which in most cases have been selected on account of their positions on
the main trade routes, and the excellence of their communications by cable and by
WfT.

with the Admiralty system.
A area of observation is allotted to each Intelligence Centre, as shown on
chart in three sheets issued with this book.
18. In addition to the above a temporary Intelligence Centre has been established
in Home \\-raters at Klrkwall unde.r the charge of the Admiral Commanding Ork:neys
and Shetlands. A tempora1y centr e has also been established at Ponta Delgada
(Azores), to co-operate with the author ities of the U.S. Squadron based on the islands.

CONSULAR OFFICERS.
26. For the purpose of reporting the movements of foreign vessels, consular officers
are diYided into three clas es, namely, (a) all salaried and cer tain unsalaried Cousuls ;
(b) other unsalaried Consuls of British nationality; and (c) Consuls of forei gn
nationality.
All reports from Consular Officers will be transmitted through the Intelligence
Cent.res which haYe been supplied with special cypbers for this purpose.
The duties of these three classes differ i n manv respects, and are described in the
following paragraphs :-
(a) AU sala1ied and certain unsalaried C'onstt'Ls.
27. All salaried and certain uiJsalaried Consuls are known as Repmting Officers, and
are provided with special cyphers for reporting foreign and suspicious vessels.
28. In peace and war they report by telegraph to the Admiralty alone, or to the
Admiralty and one or more Intelligence Centres, the arrinls and departures of all
foreign (including Allied) ships of war, except those of the same nationality as the
p.ort at which they are stationed (see next paragraph).
'Vhene\er a report is sent to more than one address, the names of all authorities
informed should be stated at the end of the telegrams on all occasions.
29. The arrivals and departures of foreign ships of war at and from their own
home ports (i .e., ports of their own nationality) ar e not, as a rule, telegraphed, but are
reported by post on I.D. forms, distinguished by the letters A and B, to the same
centre or centres to which telegraphic reports are sent.
30. Consular Reporting Officers can, however, be directed by the Foreign Office to
report at any time the movements of foreign ships of war at their own home ports by
telegraph through their Embassy or Legation.
31. In war the alTivals and departures of enemy merchant vessels and other
suspicious craft are telegraphed by ] Officers on every occasion, as described
in paragraph 28 above in regard io foreign ships of war.
32. Consular Repor ting Officers receive from vessels of the mercantile
marine forms distinguished by the letters 0.0. (see paragraphs 5i-60). The
information contained in these forms is forwarded by them to the Admiralty or to an
Intelligence Centre, but not to both, by post in peace, and by telegraph in war.
33. Reporting Officers are not relieved of t.he duty of reporting movements by t he
presence of one of H.1L hips in port.
34. A retwn of all foreign ships of war in port, at or nero: the end of each quarter,
containing the latest information concerning them up to a given date, is furnished
by Consular Reporting Officers in _peacP. and war. This return is furnished ou forms
di. tinguished by the letter C, and is forwarded by these officers by post to the same
Intelligence Centre or Centres to which they forward Forms A. and B.
35. It is not intended that the movemeilts of British ve sels, either ships of war
or merchant Yessels, should be reported in time of peace by Reporting Officers,
unless special instructions to the coutrary are issued. In time of war, however,
the moYements of all British, Allied, and neutral ocean-going merchant 'essels will
be reported by Reporting Officers to the Admiralty, except at ports at which special
route-giving officers are stationed, where this duty will be carried out by these officers.
The movements of such vessels hould be embodied in a telegraphic report, whic.h
should be forwarded once daily. (" Conship ., telegram., see paragraphs lf>l and 152.)

:16. Iu this conucction it is observed that in time of war Reporting Officers will
always telegraph to the Admiralty, and to one or more Centres, any
information they may obtain as regaTda British merchant vessels wblCh ara overdue
at tht>ir ports or which have been attacked or sunk bv enemv ships of war. A .full
report as regards merchant vessels attacked O!' sunk by the enemy will also be
forwarded by post to the Admiralty and to one or more Intelligence Centres on
N.I.D. Forms S.A. or G.R. (see Appendix G).
37. The movements of H.l\'L Ships in and out of port will not be reported by
Reporting Officers except at the request of their Commanding Officers.

42. In peace and war they report the arrivals ancl departurPs of foreign ships of
Wa.J.' at ports where they are stationed by telegraph to the Admiralty or to an
Intelligence Centre, but not to both, in the same manner as described in paragraphs

Intelligence Centre Form C. as described in paragraph 34.
43 These Consuls do not receive Form C.O. from vessels of the British mercantile
marine, nor do they report movements of enemy merchant vessels in t ime of war.
44. A table of these unsalaried Consuls of British nationality, together with
Centres to which they report, is given in Appendix B.
(c) Consuls of Fonign Nationality.
45. Consuls of foreign nationality report the anivals and departures of all foreign
(including Allied) ships of war, except those belonging to their own nationality at

57. The Masters of Dr itish merchant vessels have been supplied with forms
distinguished by the letters C.OY (see Appendix F.), and have been r equested to
enter on these forms particulars o foreign vessels met with at sea or at places on the
where there are not Reporting Officers.
53. ln peace particulars of foreign ships of war only should be entered on these
forms, but in war they will also contain information concerning enemy merchant
vessels and other suspicious craft met with.
59. The masters of British merchant vessels are instructed to hand in these C.O.
forms on their arrival at the rst port at which a Consular, Indian or Colonial
Reporting Officer is stationed. They are also requested in time of war or strained
r elations to take every opportunity, prior to handing in the forms, to communicate
their contents by visual signal to H.M. Ships or fast British steamers met with
at !':ea.
60. As in waT and during periods of strained relations the utmost secrecy with
r espect to the movements of H.M. Ships is eRsential for the success of the opeTations,
the attention of the Masters of British merchant vessels should be drawn to the danger
of imparting any information of this nature which they may acquir e or which may l;e
communicated to them for their protection, without proper assurance that no ris k is
involved in doing so. l t should he impressed on the Master s of British merchant
vessels that Forms 0. 0 . are not intended for reporting the movements of H.'AJ. Ships,
and also that they should on no account forward any information concerning the
position of H.M. Sh.ips met by them, by wireless in plain language to any person
whatever.
ADJACEKT bTELLlGE.NCE CENTRES.
61. Officers in charge of adjacent Intelligence Centr es will keep closely in touch
and work in conjunction with one another in all matters concerning their Intelligence
duties. They will inform each other by tel egraph of the movements of foreign vessels
as necessary. (See paragraph 19.)
DETAOHED SQUADRONS AND S HIPS.
62. At ports wher e there are not Reporting Officers, H.M. Ships should report
to the near est Intelligence Centre the arrivals and departures of foreign ships of war

t he enemy, report. of this description should invariably_ be forwarded by ca e m I me
of war, the wording of the report being continually vaneJ .
66. Intelligence Centres r eq11ire the above iuFonnat.ion in order that they may
be able to- .
(a) forward intelligence to H.M. Ships with the least possible delay ;H M Shi
(b) check reports from merchant vessels which at times report ps as
enemY or suspicious vessels;
(c) keep a of the movements of detached ships, for the information of the
C.-in-C. or S.N.O. of the station, if required.
BRITISH S UBJECTS.
67. It will be observed that in most areaR of observation there are a numbe1 of
foreign ports at which there are no Reporting Officers or other Consuls of British
nationality.
68. The General Staff (Naval) or other Officers. in charge of Intelligence
should endeavour to get into personal touch with reliable and well-informed Bnt1sh
subjects at such ports in their respective ar eas.
69. They should encourage such persons to act as unpaid repor ting agents, aud
should discreetly instruct them what description of information is likely to be of value
in time of war .
. 70. It will be advisable to invite the assistance of Commlar Repox:ting Officers at
neighbouring port.s before agents of this description are finally selected, and such
agents should be encouraged to for ward any information they may obtain through the
nearest Reporting Officer.
71. It should be borne iu mind that these agents must scrupulously avoid any
acts which might lay them open to charges o espionage against the country in which
they are r esiding, and should on no account report on matters connected with the
naval or mili tary aiTangements of that country.
72. In order t o make arrangements of this description, it is essential that the
Officers in charge of Centres should be constantly given facilities to travel to the
various ports throughout their respective areas of observation.
W iRELESS STA.TlONS.
In time ?f war ll:ny information may be obtained by Naval W/T or D/ F.
StatiOns on foreign statiOns, as to the pos1t10ns or movements of enemy vessels will
be immed!ately to the Intelligence Centre in whose area of obsen:ation
those statiOns are s1tuated.
AIR SF:RVJCE.
74. In: each area of arral'!gements should be made for fLli information
of navalrmportance, wlnch may be obta1ned by the Naval A..ir Service to be . d

It. should, howeYer , be noted that Naval Attaches have no control over Intelligence
Oentros.
SECTION ill.
Protection of the Mercantile Marine in Time of War.
77. The main object of the intelligence organisation for the protection of trade
in time of war is to supply ! U1.. Ships with all intelligence which will enable them
to hunt down and destroy enem_,- Ships of War operating against British shipping, or
to keep uch enemy hips con tautly on the move, so that it will be made di fficult
for t hem to do any great amount of damage.
i . The metl1ods by which B.M. ,_ hip!> are kept iuiormed of such matters are
described in ection II. of the )[emorandum.
79. As, however, it is essent.ial that, in time of war, Brit ish trade should be kept
going as long and as steadily as possible, the machinery of the intelligence
organisation is also uc;ed for supplying British merchant vessels with information,
ad,-ice, instructions a.ud route, which will enable them to continue running normally,
and, at the same time, so far as poasible, avoid capture or destruction by the
enemy.
SO. For this reason Intelligence Centres have, in most cases, been established
at the principal ports on the most important trade rontes. I t is the duty of the
Officers in charge of these <)entr es to keep io touch as closely as possibl e, in peace,
with the Master s of British merchant vessels calling at their ports, and to assist such
Masters, in time of war. by supplying them with information, advice and instructions
as co the routes which ar e to be followed by them.
81. As, however , there ar e a number of British vessels which do not visit
the ports where Intelligence Centres are established, arrangements have been made
for information, advice, and route instructions to be SU!piied to such merchant vessel s
through Reporting Officers, or at cer tain specified ports (see Appendix D.) t hrough
specially appointed .Naval Officers. hereinafter r eferred to as ''Route-g iving Ofllccrs,"
but. known general ly as "Vice-Consuls" in for eign por ts. and by various titles in
British oversea ports.
82. i<"cfu this connection it has been decided that in time of war-
(a) All Admiralty instructions for merchant vessels will be telegraphed to the
General Staff or other Officer s in charge of Intelligence Centres for
communication to vessels calling at theiJ: ports ;
(b) The General Staff or other Officers in of Intelligence Centres will be
r esponsibl e for transmitting such instructions to tRoute-giving Officers
and Reporting Officers in their areas of observation, together with the
latest available intelligence uoncerning the positions and movements of
enemy ships of war operating against British trade ; .
(c) The General Staff or other Officers in charge of Intelligence Centres will be
r esponsible for the issue of route instructions to mer chant vessels calling
at their own ports, and also when supply
at ports in their respective areas at which no u fficer Is
stationed, with ocean routes for issue to mer chant vessels which have not
been suzYplied with routes eithe1 before leaving a British p01-t
or by an Intelligence Oenke.

SECTION Vll.
Instructions to H.M. Ships fur reporting the Movements of Foreign Vessels and other
matters of Naval Interest.
I NTRODUCTORY.
Ill. A.t the British and Foreign Ports abroad i n Appendices A. and C., the
arrivals and departures of foreign ships of war, enemy merchant vessels, and other
suspicious craft (for definition see paragraph 25, page 6) will be reported to the
various Intelligence Centres (including the Acl.miralty) by the "Repor ting Officers,"
and reports of such movements are :not, as a rule, required from B.M. Ships in these
ports.
112. The mo>ements of foreign ships of war in their own home waters are not, as a
rule, telegraphed by Reporting Officers, and should consequentl y be reported by B.M.
Ships by cable on all occasions as described in paragraph 113 bel ow.
113. At other British and Foreign Ports abroad, where there are no Reporting
Officers, and when any of H.M. Ships are present, the Commanding Officer (or the
Senior Officer of more than one will be responsi ble for reporting by telegraph
the arriYals and of foreign vessels . to (a) the Admiralty, and (b) the
Intelligence Centre _w1thm the of of which t he reporting ship is
operating (see m tru:ee 1ssued w1th th1s book). For the purpose of these
instructions th1s Centre will heremafter be referred to as the "appropriate Intelligence
Centre."
H.M. Ships in the however, will report only to the Intelligence Centre at
Shanghai, and not to_ the Adlmra.lty.
Special telegraphic for _use of H.M. Ships have been registered for
Intelligence Centres; a hst of these IS g1ven on page 18.
1H. Whenever a report is sent by one of FLM. hips to more than one address, the
names of all Centres and other authorities informed must always be included in the
message.
115. H.lll_Ships should_ take every opportunity of inquiring from Brit ish merchant
vessels met at sea,_ or lA harbours where there a;e no Reporting Officers, whether
they any to report (see parab>Taphs page 9).
Any mfonnatwn obtamed by means, or by t heu- own observations whilst at
sea, should be passed by H.M. Ships to the appropriate Intelligence Centre for
distribution.
116. It must be borne in mind the use of W /Tis Hable to disclose the
po!:rition of H.M. to the meth?d not therefore be used, a&
a rule, by H.M. Ships for forwardmg mtelhgence m time of war, except in cases of

quickl.,- ns ble ontweigh t.he disadvantages of disclosing the p j-:ition o. one of
lUI. to the Enemy.
ll-1. All intelligence r ported by telegraph or W /T should he forwarded by H.M.
Sltips in cypher, both in peace and \\"ar if c.rphPr is available.

the Admiralty and to the appropriate Intelligence Centre the movements of all
ship of '''ar bel onging to tl:at country on every occasion su.ch vessels enter or leave
the port which is being visited.
119. At the ports mentioned in paragraph 113 of these instructions the arrivals
aml departures of aU foreign ships of war will be telegraphed by B.M. Ships to the
Admiralty, and to the appropriate Intelligence Centre, whenever such vessels enter or
leave port.

t elegraphed if they are the same as the date and place of the despatch of the message ;
if either is different, however, they should be clearly indicated.
(b) Movements of Foreign ::>hips o.f War on Passage.
122. In peace, information obtained from merchant vessels (see paragraph 115)
will usually be too old to be of much value, and need not be telegraphed by H.M.
Ships, unless there are special circumstances which would make this desirable.
Information concerning foreign ships of war sighted at sea by H.M. Ships
should be forwarded to the appropriate Intelligence Centre, by W / T if this method is
available. The Intelligence Ceutre will be responsible for passing on such information
to all concerned. ,
In reports of this description the following particulars should always be given :
{.a) nationality, description, name, or class; (b) exact date, time, position, aud course

directed in paragraphs 118 to 123 is to be followed as far as they are concerned.
(d) Miscellaneous.
125. In peace, telegraphjc reports from H.M. Ships should, as a l'tue, be confined
to reports of movements of foreign ships of war.
Any special intelligence report, relating to such movements, is con-
sidered sufficiently urgent for transmissiOn by telegraph should be sent m cypher to
the appropriate Intelligence Centre.

INSTRUCTIONS.
L The of of_ -,--:-.-;----,----,---.,---;:;--- -:--.,----,-
Owners , is requested to fill up t he attached Forms, and to hand
them in, forward them, or signal their contents, as directed below.
2. The front of the Form is reserved for reporting particulars of Foreign Ve3sels met with at sea or at
place' ou the coast. In peace, only Foreign Ships of War should be reported, but in war enemy Merchant
Vessel s and other suspicious craft should al:;(l be reportell. I t is not necessary, however, to report
Ye sci nt any port where" G.O." Forms ma.y be banded in.
The back of the Form is used n,s a sigual return (see belo,v).
3. The 1lefinition "Ship of War" comprises i\'Ien of War and Torpedo Craft, .Tra:osport , Cable Ships,

4. lin ters are in,itell. to use the back of the Form (Signal Return) for rendering a r eturn signal
practices carried out with H.M. hips or wi tl other Merchant Vessel;;, either in Wireless (at the stated
t imes llaily), or in Visual signalling (see page 2 of the British Signal Ma'Dnal) . This return replaces the
Admiralty Signal Return in t he case of Vessels which a.re supplied with t he book of
"C.U." Forms. Books of Forms hound separately without t hese instructions, &C'i, are supplied for-t he use
of wireles- operators.
5. "C.O." Forms shoultl be disposed of as follows :-
(1) :E'orms bearing entries on t he front (or on both sides) should be hanaed, oo arrival at tile
first port included io the list s on pages 2 and 3 of this book, to t he Official authorised to
receive them. .
(2) Forms beari ng entries only on t ile back shoul d uot be handed io, but posted, on arrival in the
U nited Kingdom, to'' The Secretary, Admiralty, J,ouilon."
6. I u time of war or trained relations it is of the greatest. importance that information relating to the
movement.s of Foreign Vessels should reacl1 tho Naval Authorit i.es ar the earliest possible date; Masters of
Rritisb Vessels with urgent information of this nature Lo commnoicate :;hould therefore, if possible, make for
the nearest port where the Forms may be banded in. Every opportnnity should also be taken, prev10us to
banding the Forms in, to communicate t he particulars on the front of the Form by signal to any of H.M.
Ships or fast Hritish Steamers met wit h at sea, or to any of t he Sigual Stations on page 4 of this book.
The particulars on the back of the Form need not be commnnicated.
7. lu signalling the particulars on t he trout of t he Form each entr1 mnst be signalled separately, the
second and eacb subsequent entry heing precedell by t he word "second eutry," "third entry," &c. The
sequence of the Columns (from I to 9) must in,ariably he followed. as iudicu. tell. by the small ligures in
italics from 1 upwards in the !!pecimeu ou page 5. The headings of the Columns sbould be omitted, the
word '' nnknowu:-"' being, however, inserted for enclt Column (except Column which is left blank.
Semu.pbore, Morae ftat?-signall ing, or' fl ashing lamp should pref erably be used, the message always
commencing with the words ".1-'orrn C.O." ; but if Ba.g-signalling is employell, the Pilot J 1\ck T1Lhle in the
Rritish ignal Manual shonld be used a. far as possible.
8. In time of war or strained relations information concerning the movements of British Sh.ips of War
most be regarded as atrictly secret, and Masters of Merchant Vessels should be cautious as to whon1. they
communicate information of this natute.
9. In time of war or strained relation!! care shonlll. be t h;\t me!lsages signalled at sea are not
rea.l by neutral or hostile ships, anll. that these Form:>, when hnnded in, are uot delivered to a.ny
unantboriscd On arrival at any of the ports mentioned in Notice t.o Muri oers-No. l (Caution when
