hi a w
if you do a google search for  RMS LAURENTIC 1917  several sites come up including one for the white star line of which she was a part it has a pic of the ship and says laurentic was sunk by mines laid by a german sub in 1917 you may get some info from that or links to more .
regards

Hi Emily
My grandfather was also lost on the Laurentic. I’m not sure when you posted this message and you may have all the information you require but if you need any help
Please let me know.
