Pall Mall Gazette - Tuesday 01 August 1916 IN MEMORY OF JUTLAND A medal to commemorate the recent navy battle off Jutland Bank has been designed by Admiral Prince Louis of Battenburg, and is shown in the accompanying illustration. The medal will be the first of a series connected with naval events in the present war which Prince Louis intends to bring out at short intervals, and the entire profits of the sale of the medals will go to naval orphangages. There are two sizes in which the medals are being struck, one having a diameter of 1 3/4 in, in white metal at 1s., in bronze at 5s., in solid silver at 15s., and in 18-carat gold at £11 10s. The smaller size is seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and this is made with loop and ring, in solid silver, for wearing on bracelet or watch- chain, at 3s 6d., and in 18-carat gold at 35s. The new medals may be obtained at the above-names prices, post free, either from Prince Louis or from Messrs. Spink and Son (Limited), 15, Piccadilly, W. ---
