Published to coincide with the 104th anniversary of the most pivotal sea battle of World War I, this comprehensive catalogue presents a comprehensive list of all orders, decorations, and MIDs awarded for the Battle of Jutland. Organized by the ships involved, it includes citations whenever available and provides a description of each ship's role in the battle.

The Battle of Jutland marked the sole engagement between the battle fleets of the United Kingdom and Germany, with 151 British ships participating, comprising approximately 60,000 sailors. Tragically, 13 ships were sunk, resulting in the loss of over 6,000 British lives. In recognition of their valor, over 2,000 honors were bestowed, including four Victoria Crosses, 47 DSOs, over 200 DSMs, and numerous other decorations. Additionally, MIDs were awarded for gallantry and distinguished service.

While the VCs have received extensive documentation, identifying the ship in which the recipient served for most of the other awards poses a challenge or is impossible. Consequently, this book holds immense interest for medal collectors, as it provides valuable insights into the ships referenced in the citations and reveals the number of awards granted to each ship. Moreover, it offers a captivating background to one of the most iconic naval battles in history.
