  • Killed at the battle of Jutland circa 1914/18
    The Battle of Jutland, from May 31 to June 1, 1916, was the only major naval engagement in World War I. A preliminary encounter in the North Sea between the battle-cruiser squadrons of the British admiral David Beatty and the German Franz von Hipper was followed by a full-scale battle between the two main fleets, the British under Adm. Sir John Jellicoe and the German under Adm. Reinhard Scheer. Although the battle was strategically indecisive, the Germans displayed greater tactical skill and suffered lighter losses. On the other hand, the German high fleet did not leave port again for the duration of the war.
