Memorial Plaque (Death Penny) named to Isaac Clifford Smith
Killed in Action – 31st May 1916 (Battle of Jutland)
Isaac Clifford Smith was service on H.M.S. Defence when it was sunk on 31st May 1916 during the Battle of Jutland. Escorting the main body of the Grand Fleet, the ship was fired upon by one German battlecruiser and four dreadnoughts as she attempted to engage a disabled German light cruiser. She was struck by two salvoes from the German ships that detonated her rear magazine. The fire from that explosion spread to the ship’s secondary magazines, which exploded in turn. There were no survivors.
Smith was from Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Comes with research.
