Captain Benjamin Chave KBE.

Royal Navy SS. Alnwick Castle

from:Southampton, Hampshire

Captain Sir Benjamin Chave KBE (1870-1954) was my grandfather. He was captain of the Alnwick Castle when she was torpedoed on 17th March 1917 bound for the Cape. My brother has original letters sent by the master of the French steamer Venezia and two letters from those with him during the five days spent adrift before being rescued by the Venezia.
