March 26, 1745

To the British general public,

''On this day, the twenty-sixth of March, in the year of our Lord, 1745, also the date of my official joining as commander of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, I personally request eager young men from the British public to enlist into the ranks of my fleet. Our purpose in Mediterranean waters is to keep Spanish naval activity in check, as well as keep the Spanish coast under heavy surveillance should war like events occur.''

Vice Admiral of the White Johnathan O' Reilly,

Commander-in-chief on the Mediterranean Station
