Sturdee baronets
The Sturdee Baronetcy, of the Falkland Islands, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 19 January 1916 for Vice-Admiral Sir Doveton Sturdee in honour of his victory at the Battle of the Falkland Islands. In 1970 the title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet, who had reached the rank of Rear Admiral.
