Pte. William Banks

Royal Navy Marine Light Infantry HMS Clan McNaughton

from:Edinburgh

(d.3rd Feb 1915)

I recall my grandmother telling me about the telegram which arrived and which she opened. She wandered into the parlour where her mother and grandmother were and said, "how silly, that the telegram said they'd "lost all hands", and how silly that was." William Banks was aboard the Clan MacNaughton, an armed merchant cruiser, lost, believed foundered off NW Scotland, there were no survivors.
