Jutland relics unearthed ahead of titanic battle’s centenary
27 August 2015
Historians in Portsmouth are examining the battle ensigns flown by some of the 150 British warships at Jutland ahead of the battle’s 100th anniversary.
The silk standards are stained by the fire and soot of the action fought in the North Sea on May 31 1916.

World War One Naval

As part of the ongoing commemoration on the centenary of the First World War, over the next few weeks/months I’d like to put on a number of naval battles. These will basically be the pre-Jutland battles: the flight of the Goeben; the raid on Heligoland Bight; Coronel; the battle of the Falklands; and the battle of Dogger Bank.

 

I’m building up the collection of ships and developing rules of my own devising. I’d like to try out the first battle (probably Coronel) on the 13th August). All welcome to join in…please let me know if you’re interested.
