Quotes by Alan Warwick Palmer (?)

“Mahmud, desperate to defend his capital, sought aid from the most formidable of his neighbours: three flotillas of Russian warships were invited to sail down the Bosphorus to moorings off the Golden Horn. They were followed by a Russian expeditionary force which established advanced headquarters on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus at Hünkar İskelesi, a bay some twelve miles up the straits from Constantinople and generally transliterated as Unkiar Skelessi. By early April nearly 30,000 Russians were deployed in defence of Mahmud’s capital, with a camp at Buyukdere on the European shore as well as at Unkiar Skelessi.”

“every minute which passes at the beginning of a meeting before you announce your real intentions will generate either suspicion or caution.”

“George V and his consort, Queen Mary, were born in London, there remained a strong Germanic influence at court. Of his seven predecessors on the British throne two were German by birth and upbringing and the remaining five had at least one parent who was German. Since the First World War the influence has, of course, been much less marked; but the German connection is not entirely a matter of past history. In 1915 ten of King George V’s first cousins were members of German royal dynasties. Seventy years later the Prince of Wales has sixteen first cousins born into the old princely families of Germany.”
