Great War Bronze Memorial Plaque Awarded to Signalman Guy Harrold Woods of HMS Vindictive Killed During the Zeebrugge Raid 23rd April 1918, circular bronze memorial plaque (Death Plaque) named to “GUY HAROLD WOODS”. Remains in very good overall condition. Accompanied by photocopied research papers. Signalman Guy Harold Woods was from 29 Pember Road, Kensal Rise, London. He was killed in action on 23rd April 1918 when serving on HMS Vindictive. He is buried at Dover (St James’s) Cemetery. The raid on Zeebrugge and Ostend on 23rd April 1918 was meant to block the Imperial German navy from leaving the ports and attacking the life line to Britain. The main force of the attack was to be at Zeebrugge, with a smaller offensive launched against Ostend. In preparation for both however the elderly British cruiser Vindictive was used to land 200 troops at the entrance to the Bruges Canal (at the mile-long Zeebrugge mole), in order that they could destroy its formidable shore batteries. The operation began badly however. The prepared smokescreen to cover the Vindictive as it landed its troop contents proved ineffective in the face of unexpected winds. Under crippling fire the old cruiser moored in the wrong location, its guns effectively out of action. However an old submarine did destroy the mole connecting the bridge to the shore after it exploded containing explosives. The loss of HMS Vindictive's guns was significant, without their crucial support the shore batteries remained. In turn their sustained fire also disabled a further three ancient British cruisers - Thetis, Iphigenia and Intrepid - packed with concrete and which had moved into the inner harbour, preventing them from halting and scuttling themselves in their correct pre-assigned locations at the narrow entrance to the canal. Represented at the time as a tremendous British victory by Allied propaganda (with the consequence that its devisor Sir Roger Keyes was ennobled), and by the Germans as a demonstration of their success in holding each port, the Zeebrugge raid did not in reality hinder German operations from either port for more than a few days. Some 500 British casualties were incurred during the operation. A total of eight Victoria Crosses were awarded for the action.
