HMS Hampshire

A wonderful site. Full of information about the ship and the men, 643 who sadly lost their lives in 1916.

CU,
Many thanks for putting this link up. By strange coincidence this afternoon I placed a picture of William Hansell Robinson of The Essex Regiment who died at the Somme along with some text which relates to his young life in our local village at a local history exhibition. Among the text I made mention of William's brother, Eric, who died on the Hampshire and is mentioned on the site.
