JUTLAND: Investigating family links

I read with great interest the article on Jutland 1916, (Northumberland Gazette, May 26).

It was clearly laid out with the principal characters’ brief descriptions.

My father was a naval officer who served under Admiral Jellicoe and I have written to Professor Tweddle at the National Museum of the Royal Navy to find out if my father participated in this historic sea battle.

Thank you for such valuable historic news.
