    KENDALL, Nicholas Percy: Royal Naval Service Record Card
    Percy enlisted for a 12 year term and was almost immediately posted to HMS "Vivid II" This was the Royal Naval Barracks at Devonport, Plymouth. Percy was there from 24 Jan 1913 until 16 Jun 1916, probably for his basic training. On departure, he held the rank of Stoker, Second Class.

    On 17 Jun 1913, Percy began service on board HMS "Indefatigable". Still serving on the "Indefatigable", Percy was promoted to Stoker, First Class on 20 Nov 1913, the position he held until the ship was sunk by enemy action on 31 May 1916.

    Percy Kendall was killed in action aboard HMS "Indefatigable" when she was sunk by enemy fire during the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916. The ship sank so quickly that it is reported there were only 2 survivors. For more information on the ship, check out this link to Wikipedia

    This photograph, the only one in existence that I have found, was probably taken from an enemy ship recording their succeses of the day. Although of poor quality, she can clearly be seen on fire about to disappear below the waves on 31 May 1916. Of the 1017 crew, there were only 2 survivors.
