The Battle of Jutand also wasn't 1914, and the author may not even have been thinking of Jutland anyway (I just left it in as Jutland as that was the only battle anywhere near there during that war). There was no full blown sea battle in that war before the Battle of the Falklands either, so just what engagement could there have been as early as August 1914? PML.
