Glorious First of June

Post by Saxondog »

Today marks a very important date in the History of Armed conflict,the day after the Battle of Jutland. And the Glorious first of June in which the two Largest fleets the world had ever seen a bitter conflict and the fate of the war was decided.

Both sides claimed Victory,and the case for a German Victory was very strong. Yet on the First of June the British Grand Fleet stood ready for Battle,while the German High Sea's Fleet was struggling into Port.

In all 250 combat ships were involved,including the first ever use of Aircraft in a Naval battle. History was made,and the seeds that would lead to a second world war has been sown.
