Destroyers at Jutland

"There was much destroyer-work in the Battle of Jutland.The actual battle field may not have been more than twenty thousand square miles, but the incidental patrols,from first to last, must have covered many times that area. Doubtless the next generation will comb out every detail of it.All we need remember is there were many squadrons of battleships and cruisers engaged over the face of the North Sea,and that they were accompanied in their dread comings and goings by multitudes of destroyers, who attacked the enemy both by day and by nightfrom the afternoon of May 31 to the morning of June 1, 1916.""We are too close to the gigantic canvas to take in the meaning of the picture;our children stepping backward through the years may get the true perspective and proportions."
