231775 Stkr1. John George Brentnall Royal Navy HMS Invincible from:Heanor (d.31st May 1916) From the Heanor Observer 16/06/1916: A Marlpool Tar Goes Down on the Inivincible Another local loss in the great sea fight off Jutland was Seaman J. G. Brentnall, of Marlpool, who went down with the Invincible. He had served eight years in the Navy, and early in the war fought in the Heligoland Bight engagement and at the Falkland Islands. He was also under Vice-Admiral Hood at the great shelling of the Belgian Coast. On leave at home a month ago, he returned to meet with a true British sailor's death. To his relatives as to all the mourners in this sad time we tender the truest sympathy of the townspeople, and can only point again to the divine words - Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.
