Officers and Men Killed in
Action or Died of Wounds, H.M.S. Ardent, Battle of
Jutland 31st May -1st June 1916. |
Extract from the
Official History; " Naval Operations" by Sir Julian S. Corbett. 1923
..........This destroyer now found herself alone, and having
escaped with little injury, made away southwards in the hope of
finding the rest of her division, which in fact had ceased to exist.
What she fell in with was something quite different. ..............
Lieutenant-Commander A. Marsden in the Ardent saw smoke ahead
of him, and thinking it came from his consorts he made towards it.
Then the form of a large German ship loomed up, and without
hesitation he attacked. Another torpedo was fired at very close
range, but before he could see the result he was blinded by the
searchlights of four battleships in line ahead. Out of the glare
came the inevitable hurricane of shell. In a minute or so the
Ardent was a mere mass of scrap-iron, and switching off their
lights the enemy disappeared and left her to sink helpless and in
total darkness. She was lost with all hands (12.19) except
Lieutenant-Commander Marsden and one man..............
