Administrative history
The Naval Intelligence Division (NID) was established in 1887 as the Director of Naval Intelligence at the Admiralty. Its mandate was to collect, classify and record with a complete index all information which bears a naval character or which may be of value during naval matters. With the creation of the Naval Staff in 1917, the NID had been gradually restricted to intelligence responsibilities. After the First World War, NID's standing among the divisions of the Naval Staff was much reduced, and its influence in the Admiralty was similar to that of the intelligence branches in the other Service ministries.
