WAR DEAD COMMEMORATED IN LYNESS ROYAL NAVAL CEMETERY - Orkney Officers and Men Killed in Action or Died of Wounds, H.M.S. Barham, Battle of Jutland, 31st May -1st June 1916. Extract from the Official History; " Naval Operations" by Sir Julian S. Corbett. 1923 ...........As Admiral Beatty ran out of range firing became intermittent, and within eight minutes ceased altogether. At 5.10 he reduced to 24 knots, and made his way northward to join the main fleet. Away on his port quarter Admiral Evan-Thomas was having the same trouble. By the time his turn northward was completed he was some three miles astern of the battle cruisers and nearly abreast of the Konig, so that he at once became engaged with Admiral Scheer's van squadron, as well as with Admiral Hipper. To reduce the range the whole German battle fleet had turned north-west by divisions, and in this formation was trying to close the range. The Barham had hardly turned before she was badly hit by a heavy shell which caused many casualties and wrecked her wireless gear...... Barham was hit by 6 large calibre projectiles during the battle, killing 4 officers and 22 men, and wounding 1 officer and 36 men. Chaplain Henry Dixon Dixon-Wright. M.V.O.
