Description: | Photocopy of an ms letter (2pp) written to his sister while serving as a Lieutenant RN in the flotilla leader HMS FAULKNOR (12th Destroyer Flotilla, Grand Fleet), 13 June 1916, describing how the snip got "into a rather warm corner" at the outset of the Battle of Jutland, but might have contributed to the destruction of a German warship during the Flotilla's night attack. He argues that "the Huns are defeated at sea for at least 6 months and probably a good deal longer. They got a very bad hammering". Rear Admiral Tower, as he became, was killed in an air raid on London on 14 October 1940.
