Listen now
Description
Hello again, welcome to Episode 56, the first of a double header on the Battle of Jutland, by far the largest sea borne action of the First World War and what a great guest we have to discuss it with you, Nick Jellicoe, grandson of John Jellicoe Commander of the British Fleet at the battle. We recorded for about 4 and a half hours and it was a great discussion cover many aspects of Nicks life as well as the battle itself.  I haven't split a guest episode for a while but I had recorded this episode along with the ones with Nigel Atter and the Rapid Fire in a period of two weeks so splitting this episode will make it easier on your time and also give me a bit of a break until I record the next episode. In this show I talk to Nick about his life as well as a most interesting chat around his fathers WW2 career. We then go on to discuss the prelude to the battle and some of the characters involved. Back in two weeks to talk about the battle itself and its aftermath. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer
