From what I can gather, Henry Allingham is the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland. He's still alive today. -- Ben davison 14:06, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
"In May 1916, he was ordered to joing HMS Kingfisher, where he was still posted when the Battle of Jutland began. Although the trawler he was in was not directly involved in the battle, Henry can still make a proper claim to be the last known survivor of that battle."
I suppose since he was amongst the battle, it is proper to call him the last survivor of it.
Maybe you could call Henry Fancourt the last 'active' survivor or something? -- Ben davison 14:00, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Newspaper obituaries refer either to Henry St John Fancourt or to Henry Fancourt. So it's incorrect to refer to him as "St John Fancourt". "St John" is used as a surname or as part of a double-barrelled surname. Sometimes double-barrelled surnames are not hyphenated, as (probably) in this case (see [1] - and the Daily Telegraph should know!) Folks at 137 ( talk) 13:47, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
