She was taken in tow by\u00a0<em>HMS Engadine<\/em>\u00a0who rescued the surviving crew of 743. On June 1, she was abandoned and subsequently foundered.\u00a0\u00a0Walter was one of 68 men from\u00a0<i>HMS Warrior<\/i>\u00a0killed, of whom 38, including Walter, were stokers. He was buried at sea.<\/p>\n<p>While Britain lost more ships than the Germans during this battle (14 ships and more than 6,000 lives compared with nine ships and more than 2,500 casualties), the German navy was less able to withstand the losses, and did not put to sea and challenge the Royal Navy in the North Sea again.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-a31631c-3\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-a31631c-3-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Sources:                 <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-a31631c-3-content\" data-id=\"acc-a31631c-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_5hwv497\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_kgqi497 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_mc9o497   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>a) Carlisle School Memorial Register 1264-1924<br \/>b) Census: 1911 RG14; Piece: 31277; 1901 Class: RG13; Piece: 4862; 1891 RG12\/4283<br \/>c) www.ancestry.co.uk<br \/>d) Wikipedia*<br \/>e) www.northeastmedals.co.uk\/britishguide\/jutland\/hms_warrior\u2026<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Key Information Name:\u00a0Walter Jackson DoB:\u00a0November 12 1894\u00a0Navy:\u00a0Stoker 3rd class K\/18061 Royal Navy DoD:\u00a0May 31 1916 Academic Career: CGS 1906-8 Biographical Information: \u00a0 Family Background: Walter was the eldest son of Joseph and Rachel Jackson.
