After seven months as signal officer in the third class protected cruiser Bellona, Peters was appointed to the light cruiser H.M.S. Southampton as signal officer.

Notably, Peters functioned at the Battle of Jutland in this same cruiser. Her crucial role in maintaining and reporting contact with the Germans placed him in a vital role, and he was commanded for his work by Admiral Beatty.
