Maritime talk on Great War event
The epic Battle of Jutland will be recalled in a talk to be given on behalf of Rye and District Sea Cadets on Saturday (May 21).
Jutland was one of the defining moments of the Great War. The centenary of the clash between battleships of the Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy, which took place on waters off Denmark, will be on May 31-June 1.
The speaker will be John Rodley, of Winchelsea, who served for 34 years in the Royal Navy before retiring with the rank of commodore.
