Battle of Dogger Bank: On the morning of January 24th 1915 a British patrolling squadron of battle cruisers and light cruisers sighted four German battle cruisers, several light cruisers and a number of destroyers heading for the English coast. Long range gun fire continued for several hours with one German ship lost with most of its crew. British ship HMS Lion was damaged but since the British lost no ships and suffered few casualties, this was considered a British victory.
