Cutlass practice on Board Ship.
Naval brigades were
detachments from ships consisting of seamen and Royal Marines
(which were soldiers on board ships) who were landed ashore to
undertake naval operations or to support the army in a wide
variety of campaigns. During the period from 1850-1914, the Navy
did not fight any ship-to-ship actions, and most British seamen
who were on active service in operations did so as part of a
Naval Brigade.
The Naval Brigades were
professional organizations. Both officers and men received
regular training in the techniques of land warfare at the
gunnery school, HMS Excellent, at Portsmouth.
The most famous action in which
the Naval Brigades were involved is that of the relief of Ladysmith
during the Boer War. In October 1899, British Army chiefs were out
gunned by Boer troops who were threatening the garrison at Ladysmith. An
appeal was sent to the Royal Navy for guns as a last resort. How could
the Navy, hundreds of miles away at their base at Simonstown, send
artillery over land in time to stop the Boer attack? Rear Admiral Sir
Robert Harris mounted a plan to strip guns from HMSs Terrible and Powerful and take them over land to
Ladysmith. The guns, on mountings designed by Captain Percy Scott of HMS Terrible, had to be taken 800 miles by sea, from Simonstown to
Durban, and from there on a 190 mile haul to Ladysmith.
Within 24 hours, Captain
Lambton, of HMS Powerful, had loaded three 12 pounder guns and
the two 4.7” guns on board and was steaming flat out to Durban, where
two special trains were waiting to carry the men and guns to Ladysmith.
The trains traveled through the night to get to Ladysmith, before the
Boers could close off the town and destroy the railway line. The guns
were unloaded amongst rifle fire and a deluge of shells from the Boers.
In the midst of the fighting, the naval brigade assisted by a team of
oxen, hauled their guns from the station, across rocky terrain and into
position where they could be brought to bear on the Boers’ heavy gun
emplacements.
Meanwhile, a second naval
brigade brought more naval guns to join a relief infantry force, under
the command of General Sir Redvers Buller. After four months, Ladysmith
was relieved on the 1st March 1900, after Buller had broken through
under a barrage laid down by naval gunners to cover his advancing
infantry.
Lambton brought HMS Powerful home to an unprecedented welcome.
His crew pulled their guns through the street of Portsmouth and London
as crowds cheered, sang and waved Union Jacks. They took their guns to
Windsor where Queen Victoria invited the men to lunch.

The Maxim machine-gun was
adopted by the British Army in 1889. It was first used by Britain's colonial
forces in the Matabele war in 1893-94. In one engagement, fifty police of
the Rhodesian character company fought off 5,000 Matabele warriors with just
four Maxim guns. The design was taken over by the Vickers Company and was
used by the British Army for over seventy years.

German High seas fleet would never again venture from there ports for the
rest of the war. The German main fleet consisted of 16 Dreadnaught
Battleships and 6 pre-dreadnaught battleships, 11 Light Cruisers and 72
destroyers. The British Fleet consisted of Admiral Jellicoe's fleet of 28
Dreadnaught battleships and 3 battle cruisers and Admiral Beatty's force
of 6 battle cruisers and 4 fast battleships.
The Germans had planned to sail

Battle Cruisers in Norwegian waters. But due to German radio messages
being intercepted by the British the British Grand fleet were alerted.
