Mr James Moffatt, of Belfast, formerly a petty officer, on H.M.S. ColIJngwood, in a letter to the newspapers, pays tribute to the King’s part in the Battle of Jutland. He says: “He (the King) was stationed in the foremost turret of the -Collingwood working the instruments on which depended the accuracy of the guns, and he displayed an utter disregard, for himself. He put every ounce of his manhood into his duty.”
