Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe - London, UK - Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

This 1948 bronze bust of Jellicoe is by sculptor Sir Charles Wheeler.
The plinthe simply reads:
"Jellicoe
1859 - 1935"

Wikipedia's extensive article (visit link) further informs us that Jellicoe:

"...was a British Royal Navy admiral who commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in World War I. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial: he made no serious mistakes and the German High Seas Fleet retreated to port – at a time when defeat would have been catastrophic for Britain – but at the time the public were disappointed that he had lost more ships (mainly due to dangerous ammunition-handling procedures on British battlecruisers) and had not won a victory as crushing as Trafalgar.

Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord (professional head of the Royal Navy), but he was removed at the end of 1917 because of differences over policy regarding the war against the U-Boats and his perceived pessimism about Britain's ability to carry on the war.

Viscount Jellicoe served as the Governor-General of New Zealand in the 1920s."
