How about remembering all those killed in the Battle of Jutland 31 May/1 June 1916?

I have a special place for this in my memory. I found last year that of the 16 names on the War Memorial in Abbotsbury, Dorset, I have family connections with a quarter of them, and all four were killed in that action, within 12 hours of each other:

Henry Charles Dunford, on the Battle Cruiser "Queen Mary"
George Mundy Corben (father in law to Henry's brother) on the Battle Cruiser "Invincible"
Frederick Dunford (cousin to Henry) on the Destroyer "Fortune" and his brother John Dunford, on the armoured cruiser "Black Prince"


JUTLAND -
(Les Sullivan)

Where are you goin' my Billy-O, (2x)
I'm joining a ship in Scapa Flow,
That's where I'm going my Nancy.
I'm joining "Queen Mary" Nancy-O,
Joining "Queen Mary" Nancy-O,
She's bristling with guns and ready to go,
To sail to glory with Jellicoe*,
But where is "Queen Mary"? Gone Now!
And where is the glory? Gone Now!
And six thousand sailors, Gone Now!
They have gone to the bottom at Jutland.

Where are you goin' my Rodney-O, (2x)
I'm joining a ship in Scapa Flow,
That's where I'm going my Nancy.
I'm joining "Invincible" Nancy-O,
Joining "Invincible" Nancy-O,
She's bristling with guns and ready to go,
To sail to glory with Jellicoe,
But where is "Invincible"? Gone Now!
And where is the glory? Gone Now!
And six thousand sailors, Gone Now!
They have gone to the bottom at Jutland.

Where are you goin' my Johnny-O, (2x)
I'm joining a ship in Scapa Flow,
That's where I'm going my Nancy.
I'm joining the "Black Prince" Nancy-O,
Joining the "Black Prince" Nancy-O,
She's bristling with guns and ready to go,
To sail to glory with Jellicoe,
But where is the "Black Prince"? Gone Now!
And where is the glory? Gone Now!
And six thousand sailors, Gone Now!
They have gone to the bottom at Jutland.
