Description: | Photocopy of a ts "Eye-Witness's Account of the Battle of Coronel, as seen from HMS GLASGOW" (5pp). It seems probable from internal evidence that this detailed account of the sinking of the armoured cruisers HMS GOOD HOPE and HMS MONMOUTH on 1 November 1914 was written by Lieutenant Commander M P B Portman, the GLASGOW's Navigating Officer; the account is strikingly similar to the one quoted in Geoffrey Bennett's "Coronel and the Falklands", but there are a number of small differences in the description of the course of the action.
