One book you could find interesting is free from Google books. It's titled "The Fighting at Jutland; The Personal Experiences of Forty-Five Officers and Men of the British Fleet. Another is Falklands, Jutland and the Bight by Commander the Honorable Barry Bingham written in 1919. The introduction is by Sir David Beatty. Lastly, My War at Sea by Captain Heathcoat Grant. he was the captain of the Cyclops during the Falklands and Coronel battles. There is also "The Voyage of the Deutschland" by Paul Konig, Captain of the submarine merchantman "Deutschland". Hope that helps.

Thanks. I remember that some illustrations from "The fighting at Jutland" were used in the rules booklet of Avalon Hill Jutland board game. The memoirs, Captain Alexander Grant about the battle of Jutland may be read on: www.worldwar1.co.uk/grant.htmHe was gunner on HMS Lion.
