Stkr. William Charles Follett

Royal Navy HMS Bittern

from:Custom House, London.

(d.4th April 1918)

My uncle William Follett was a Stoker 1st Class on HMS Bittern. He was my mum's older brother, he was killed when the Bittern was sunk as a result of a collision with SS Kenilworth, a merchant navy ship. I have found online the report of the sinking in the Times and a report of the inquest into the accident. I also have my uncle Will's navy record card which states 'drowned on duty'.
