RN casualties, Jutland and HMS HAMPSHIRE, images available

[seaJane]

I have been sent an image which includes portraits of the following:-

HAMPSHIRE

Fleet Surgeon RG Williams

Lieutenant Eric V Grey

Lieutenant Vincent G Snow

Lieut-Com Francis G Stewart

Lieut William W Skynner

Jutland

Capt Arthur L Cay, INVINCIBLE

Rev HD Dixon-Wright, died of wounds [BARHAM]

Lieut AP McMullen, INVINCIBLE

Mid Peregrine Dearden, QUEEN MARY

Surg John MacCormac, BLACK PRINCE

Lieut WJW Fletcher, BLACK PRINCE

Com AT Johnstone, DEFENCE

Asst Clerk J Kneel, DEFENCE

 

The central image is a view from above of "a drifter with six wounded sailors waiting to be swung on board the hospital ship."

 

Edit: just had a look round for Mid Peregrine Dearden, out of interest, and he survived to be taken prisoner. Story here https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fwd-new-jutland-dearden-56btcrbp9 but unfortunately behind a paywall. There's a slightly more advert-ridden version in the New Zealand Herald https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11658589 (he was born in Canterbury, NZ).

I would be interested in an image showing Rev Dixon-Wright as there is at least one of his letters, possibly 2 or 3  transcibed in the notebooks that I am working on from Balliol.

Keith,

 

Will send it instanter. Are you interested in a photo of his gravestone in the RN cemetery at Lyness? I have that at home.

Thanks Jane, probably not, he is fairly marginal to the final stages of the man's naval service, but I'm sure he is there.

Righto
