During the war, a further 35 spies were captured. Several were executed, with the rest being
imprisoned or interned.
In 1909, the Committee of Imperial Defense reviewed Britain's defenses against espionage, focusing
particularly on the danger to British naval ports from
German spies.
The War Office and Admiralty agreed to jointly establish a
Secret Service Bureau to coordinate intelligence work.
Captain Vernon G.W. Kell of the South Staffordshire Regiment and Captain Mansfield Cumming of the Royal
Navy were nominated to head the new Bureau, which was established in October 1909.
