The Battle of Jutland during World War I commenced on 31st May 1916 at which Vice Admiral Sir Hugh Evan-Thomas from the Llwynmadog Estate near Beulah, Powys distinguished himself and earned glowing tributes from Admiral John Jellicoe. Evan Thomas was subsequently knighted for his actions.
The Battle of Jutland is considered to be the main naval battle of World War One. Even though the British Navy lost considerably more men and ships than the German Navy and Admiral John Jellicoe's tactics received much criticism, it is considered as a British victory, as the German Navy was never in a position again to put to sea during the war and the British Navy remained a powerful fighting force.
