The Sentinel: "WW1: Edgar Ellis, Aged 16, Carried On After Injury During Jutland"

"Fifteen-year-old Edgar Ellis ran away to sea – then remained at his post despite being wounded during the greatest naval battle of the First World War.

On the very first day he was assigned to serve as a signaller on the battleship, HMS Ajax, Edgar found himself on deck, facing the might of the German navy. The Battle of Jutland was about to start."
