Description

On the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland, Charles Witherspoon visits HMS Caroline, which took part in the battle. He talks to three veterans of this major event in World War I. Freddie Foxton, James Patterson and Albion Smith tell Charles of their experiences. 

This is an extraordinary film of historical importance. It also includes several out-takes from Charles’s interviews. 

The Battle of Jutland (31 May-1 June 1916) was the largest naval battle of the First World War, involving 250 ships and around 100,000 men. Over the course of the battle there were periods of intense action and inaction. In the end, 6,000 British and 2,500 German sailors were dead. The British lost 14 ships to the Germans' 11.
