Red carpet for Jutland 'boy' AS A 90th birthday surprise, Mr Wynne Thomas of War- wickshire was invited on board HMS Argyll, where he could see just how much ships have changed in the six decades since he left the Royal Navy. Mr Thomas joined as a boy seaman and by the time he was 16 had crossed the Atlantic three times in des- troyers. During the First World War he served in HMS Warspite at the Battle of Jut- land and also in the aircraft carrier, HMS Eagle. He had risen to Chief Petty Officer Engine Room Artificer by the time he left the Service. He is pictured receiving sourvenirs of his visit from Cdr. John Bray, the Argyll's commanding officer. Mid. Iain Lovatt looks on.		Admin note: Unfortunately we have not, so far at least, been able to confirm Mr Thomas's service on Warspite from his Naval records.
