HMS Attack HMS Attack, one of two Yarrow Specials and one of the old Acheron Class Destroyers of the Royal Navy, was built by Yarrow and Co, Scotstoun, Glasgow and launched in 1911. Attack was part of the 1st Flotilla from 1911-12 joining the Grand Fleet in 1914 until 1916; transferred to the 3rd Battle Squadron. On the 30th of December 1917 the transport ship HMS Aragon arrived at Alexandria with 2, 700 onboard and was ordered back out of the harbour as no berth was available. Immediately having cleared the harbour she was torpedoed by U-34 and sank with a loss of 610 lives. HMS Attack, a destroyer who came to her aid, was also torpedoed by U-34 and sunk.

Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial? If so please let us know. Do you know the location of a Great War "Roll of Honour?" We are very keen to track down these often forgotten documents and obtain photographs and transcriptions of the names recorded so that they will be available for all to remember. Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice. Contact us. Celebrate your own Family History Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Great War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc. Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.
