Officers and Men Killed in
Action or Died of Wounds, H.M.S. Fortune, Battle of
Jutland, 31st May -1st June 1916. |
Extract from the
Official History; " Naval Operations" by Sir Julian S. Corbett. 1923
............Meanwhile the next astern, the Ardent, was
attacking a ship which had picked up her next astern the Fortune
(Lieutenant-Commander F. G. Terry), and was smothering her with
salvoes. The Ardent fired a torpedo which was believed to
have hit, but the Fortune had been badly hit, and though
already in flames and sinking, she was gallantly firing her guns to
the last at her big adversary. It would seem she was also being
fired at by a German cruiser which the Porpoise sighted abaft
her starboard beam, but before the latter could attack she was hit
by an 8-inch shell, which put her out of action. Yet she was able to
crawl away, while the Ardent was now the only one of the
flotilla fit for further service........ |
