Yarkshire Gamer Talks Jutland with Nick Jellicoe

[Yarkshire Gamer]

I was fortunate enough to sit down and chat with Nick Jellicoe,  the Grandson of the British Admiral at Jutland and spend a great few hours covering all aspects of the Battle. The chat was that long I split it in two !

Part one (link above) covers a bit of background on Nick and also the remarkable story of his father George and his exploits in the SAS in WW2 before setting the scene for the Battle with a chat about the Navies and the characters involved.

Part two (link above) covers the battle itself in detail and then we close with a chat about John Jellicoes life after the Battle and Nicks involvement in the 2016 centenary commemoration.

Hope you enjoy it, avaliable from all major Podcast hosts as well as the links above.

I listened to and greatly enjoyed the first episode yesterday, and then was disappointed that the second wasn't available!  So I'm happy to hear that it's up now. Looking forward to it.

Thank you for the time that you put into these podcasts -- and for giving a little love to naval history and naval wargaming.

Many thanks,

4 hours of recording is at least 8 hours editing so it made sense to split it in half, otherwise it would have taken for ever to get out !

If I get a guest like Nick on I'm definitely not cutting the interview short 

Cheers for tuning in

Regards Ken
