From what I can gather, Henry Allingham is the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland. He's still alive today. --Ben davison 14:06, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• I'm not sure about this one. My guess is that the sources that claimed Fancourt as the last survivor didn't feel that Allingham's ship (the seaplane tender Kingfisher) participated in the battle. I don't know how we should handle that in the articles. Cjrother 00:14, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Yeah, that's probably it. I put this into Henry Allingham's article when I updated it. It orginated on a website somewhere, although obviously I didn't just copy it straight in:

"In May 1916, he was ordered to joing HMS Kingfisher, where he was still posted when the Battle of Jutland began. Although the trawler he was in was not directly involved in the battle, Henry can still make a proper claim to be the last known survivor of that battle."

I suppose since he was amongst the battle, it is proper to call him the last survivor of it.

Maybe you could call Henry Fancourt the last 'active' survivor or something? --Ben davison 14:00, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This sounds like a good idea to me. Extremely sexy 19:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
