The Battle of Jutland was a sea battle fought by the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, against the German Navy's High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer between 31 May and 1 June 1916. This was the largest fleet action since the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Four of Crich's seamen were involved in the battle (out of over 59,000 sailors); Anthony Bowmer aboard Warspite, Harry Rodgers Prince aboard Agincourt, Robert Stewardson aboard HMS Revenge and James Rodgers aboard Black Prince. Note Robert Stevenson was a gunner in the Royal Marines Artillery. He has a Jutland Bounty of 5s 1d paid to him.
James Rodgers had joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and was killed on 31 May 1916, aged twenty-four, along with the whole ship’s company. The ship exploded, killing thirty-seven officers, eight hundred and fifteen men and five civilians.
