seaJane Posted 27 May , 2016 Share Posted 27 May , 2016 Excuse me Sepoy, but in your post #3 should that not be HMS Barham rather than Barnham? The Fleet Surgeon referred to was E.B. Penfold, who wrote of his experience at Jutland in the Journal of the RN Medical Service. Have yet to see the new Jutland exhibition myself although I saw the new 20th-century gallery not long after it opened. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
