British Trade Convoys From 1915 Instead Of 1917

It would also have helped if the Dover mine barrage had been made effective in 1915 instead of 1918.

Wouldn't have made in 1915 but from what I've read, if an exact copy of captured German E mines had been done rather than try to improve on it, then the RN would have had a reliable mine a lot sooner.

AFAIK the H2 mine had been around for decades and was invented by the Russians. If that is correct then the RN could have gone into WWI with enough of them to lay an effective Dover Barrage had it wanted to.
