World War One Trivia Game
 
Seems like the WWII game is too easy. So lets put our thinking caps on and really exercize our minds on WWI.


First Question:

Who was F.C. Doveton-Sturdee and what was he famous for?

Was he the British commander in charge when the Scharnhorst was sunk?

Correct: Vice Admiral Sturdee was in command of the battlecruisers Invincible and Inflexible that were dispatched with haste to the Falklands on 11 November 1914 to deal with von Spee and his East Asiatic Cruiser Squadron centered around the excellent armored cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau. None of the German vessels, except for the light cruiser SMS Dresden, survived the battle on 8 December 1914 and von Spee and his two sons also perished. The Dresden was hunted down and caught in Chilean waters on March 13th 1915.


Anyone else dare to try posting a WWI question? Or should I post another?
