 | | Admiral Beatty with his battle cruisers tried to intercept the enemy as they scuttled homewards, but the prevailing bad weather favoured the Germans, who, as one British naval officer wrote, 'came out of one rainstorm and disappeared into another'. |
 | | Admiral Beatty, who, like Nelson before him, was made a Flag Officer at the age of 39, raced after the Germans and opened fire as soon as the enemy battle cruisers came within range. |
 | | The German Admiral Hipper, who was to show his battle cruisers as bait to the British Grand Fleet, was steaming northwards for this purpose, with the German High Seas Fleet 40 miles astern. |
