- Reason
- While a bit grainy, it's a fine picture of a notable person, from newspaper archives. And, yes, I should be working on other things, but they were taking ages so I switched to something simpler for a little bit. Plus, it's one of the core topics for WWI, and I want to support Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Operation Great War Centennial =)
- Articles in which this image appears
- John Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, and as linked in description.
- FP category for this image
- While you could argue political for the New Zealand position, on the whole, I'd say Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/People/Military.
