Just a thought while I'm watching a report on it on the news... I only learned about it last year, but my great grandma's brother died while fighting in that battle when he was only twenty and my great grandma was still a teenager. Odd to hear of him as just a number now

"Never just a number. "

Yeah, I didn't put that right! Maybe the fact that he's described impersonally as a statistic.

One of my great granddad's was a stoker on the Dreadnought Orion. Never met the chap, to be honest.

Ooooh, I've just googled that! I love a bit of family history

I don't think that my great grandma's brother would ever have imagined that his great great niece would be lamenting the 100th anniversary of his death on a swingers forums though...

Some of my ancestors were drowned when their merchant ship was sunk by a Uboat off the coast of Ireland. There is a memorial

Kent


"6000 British sailors died during that battle"

Mostly through British incompetence, plus some German sailors too
