Fuller news of battle, it seems that after all the Germans got the worst of it, but our own losses are bad.

I see Com. Pennell of the Antarctic is amongst those lost on the Queen Mary. Other ships lost were the Invincible, Indefatigable, Defence, Black Prince & Warrior.

I see that I have made no mention in this diary of an important piece of family news, namely the birth of Agnes son, who was born on April 30th, we got the wire on May 1st.
