Two years later the man instructed to write the official report, Rear-Admiral Harper, decided to publish his account independently, under the title The Truth about Jutland.
This led to Admiral Bacon producing his own account of the battle, called The Jutland Scandal, in 1925.
Questions were raised in Parliament (twenty-two times), yet still no official report was produced, due to objections from Admiral Beatty.
The public waited for the official histories of the Battle to be released to learn the truth, but month after month went by with the Admiralty promising, but failing, to publish an account of Jutland.
