THE weekend commemoration of the lives lost at the Battle of Jutland saw Princess Anne lead events at Rosyth Parish Church on Saturday.
Local history guru from Crosshill, Jim Campbell, came across two local servicemen who died in action.
The two local seamen lost in this engagement, one from Cowdenbeath, a stoker, William Jamieson, and one from Hill of Beath, A.B. Hugh Delaney.
Said Jim: "The information I have on stoker William Jamison I received from a guy from Kinghorn who has done meticulous research of the WWI war dead of Cowdenbeath and is at present carrying out the same with regards to the WWI war dead of Kelty.
"Stoker William Jamieson, from Hill of Beath, was aboard HMS Hampshire.
"The Hampshire was sunk by a German mine laid by the U75 of the coast of Orkney, on the June 6 slightly after the Battle".
Added Jim: "There is a lot of confusion to this day about the Hampshire as Field Marshall Lord Kitchener was on the ship when it was sunk, his body never found. He met Admiral Jellicoe a few days earlier at Scapa Floe."
