1891-1957 or after. Passed by Committee of Anthropology 17 October 1913. U.S. Relief Commissioner in Europe. International Red Cross in Paris<br />Tracy Barrett Kittredge accepted a civil service appointment with the staff. He earlier studied history and literature at the University of California at Berkley and then completed advanced studies in Exeter College at the University of Oxford. An American expatriate in Europe at the beginning of the First World War, Kittredge, also worked as Director of the Education Fund under Herbert Hoover on the Commission for Relief in Belgium. His fluency in the French and German languages provided additional expertise, which the U.S. Navy immediately required within the London Flagship. With additional endorsements from Commander Harold R. Stark in the Operations Division and Commander John V. Babcock in the Intelligence Division, Knox nominated Kittredge for a reserve commission in the uniformed ranks of the U.S. Navy Auxiliary Volunteer Reserve (USNAVR). Kittredge was among the first to receive a line officer’s commission with rank as a lieutenant (junior grade) in 1917.61 <br />Knox and Kittredge established a lasting bureaucratic alliance in their collective campaign to fuse U.S. Navy operations with the intelligence derived from the broader understanding of history. During the First World War, Knox relied heavily upon Kittredge to foster personal ties with Frank Birch and Alfred “Dilly” Knox (no relation) at the Admiralty.62 Sims described the importance of informal personal ties between the Admiralty and the London Flagship that “throughout the war Kittredge’s previous historical training, European experience, and fine intellectual gifts made his services very valuable in the Intelligence Department.”63 <br />Rather than formal lines of communications, intelligence provided by the Admiralty through the London Flagship flowed informally to the U.S. Navy forces at the front. Dissemination centered upon informal discussions between Babcock, Knox, Kittredge, and Stark within the London Flagship and their counterparts on the seagoing staffs or those deployed ashore at the front. Balancing the delicate system of gentlemen’s arrangements with Anglo-French allies against his original function as a CNO liaison, Sims also negotiated command relationships between the London Flagship and other U.S. Navy headquarters at the front. According to the Navy Register, Sims held lower lineal standing among forty-nine other rear admirals on the active list of the U.S. Navy. <br />
