Officers and Men Killed in
Action or Died of Wounds, H.M.S. Southampton, Battle of
Jutland, 31st May -1st June 1916. |
Extract from the
Official History; " Naval Operations" by Sir Julian S. Corbett. 1923
...........Captains C. B. Miller and A. A. M. Duff of the
Nottingham and Birmingham had judiciously kept their
searchlights quiet, and the enemy, unable to see them, left them
alone to develop a rapid and destructive fire. At the first glimpse
of the Germans, moreover, the Southampton had got a
torpedo tube ready, and while her deck, bridges and superstructure
were being swept in the storm of shell, it was fired. A bright
explosion was seen in the enemy's line, and then suddenly they
switched off their searchlights and vanished into the gloom. In a
quarter of an hour it was all over. The Southampton had had
all her midship guns' crews and most of her searchlight parties
wiped out, she was blazing like a beacon with cordite fires,
expecting every moment to blow up, and her casualties were
thirty-five killed and forty-one wounded........ |
