| More about those Jutland medals IN the August issue of "Navy News, informatioin was sought regarding the medal struck for the Battle of Jutland, I have one, in white metal. They were also struck in silver and gold, and sold in the Fleet to assist the widows and orphans of the men killed in that action. It was the idea of Prince Louis of Battenburg, who was an admiral in our Navy, but was not serving at that period. For my white metal medal I believe I paid 4s. The silver and gold were, of course, more costly. I myself served in H.M.S. Orion. John Kelly (ex-Royal Marine) Southall, Middlesex. |
