HMS Defence - Was There A Survivor
Was there a survivor?
It has generally been accepted that there were no survivors when HMS Defence was sunk at the Battle of Jutland.
Sometime after the event these newspaper articles were circulated. It has not, to date, been possible to confirm the identity of George Winterbourne.
