Next of kin address Ruth Rhys Jones England More info At the age of 16 he went into action at the Battle of Jutland, where he was positioned in one of the ship's 12in turrets working the dumaresq course and distance calculator. During a lull he came out of the turret to see bodies floating around the ship. They were the crew of Invincible and his first sight of death. For the night action he had the excitement of being on the bridge. The Bellerophon suffered no casualties, but he recalled how the ship was cast into depression when it learned that the Royal Navy had suffered over 6,000 deaths in the battle.
