Thanks everyone for educating me on this battle. I’ve never heard of it. My grandfather was in the US Navy in WW I and served on a battleship overseas. He suffered some kind of smoke damage in his lungs that bothered him for the rest of his life. He died in his sixties which was a bit young for his generation and my relatives blame his scarred lings.

My Grand father served aboard USS Wyoming BB 32 as a fireman (furnace stoker) during WWI.
