HMS Chester at the Battle of Jutland - The Chester Medallion
« on: Monday 20 May 24 15:05 BST (UK) »
The Chester Medallion was given by the people of Chester to those that were on board the ship at the Battle of Jutland.

One wonders how many of these are still with relatives of those that were on the Chester.
I am putting a "Chester Medallion Traced" note against the names on the crew list.  To date three relatives have indicated that they have the medallion.

These articles might be of interest to folk (a newspaper article in 1916 and a transcription of April 1993 edition of 'Medal News' )

Battle of Jutland. Skagerrakschlacht. Endeavouring to identify all those in the British fleet that were present at the battle.
