And amazingly Britains oldest man is a survivor of this battle!

I believe that the last British survivor of Jutland died two years ago.

In fact here is an update. He'll be hitting his next birthday in 2 days! And the RAF will be honouring him (I guess he is their oldest surviving member as well as the only living survivor of Jutland) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/southern_counties/5044206.stm

Gorden Brown presented him with a bottle of House of Commons Whiskey..............He probably taxed the old boys pension to pay for it.
