Its true that Lord M; Was a stickler on the shooting field, in particular when it related to safety. A distinguished American executive was sent home[Back to his London hotel] by Lord M for dangerous use of his pair of Purdey's.
On the other hand another side of Lord M's character is seen in that he never forgot his old shipmates. My uncle sailed with Lord M in the 1920's.Following his service in the navy my uncle took an admin position in the navy offices Located in Bath. When visiting Bath, lord M; then, "First Sea lord," would on occasions ,to the amazement of my uncles colleagues, drop into his office for a chat with his old shipmate!
