Stoker Thomas Gollop
Royal Navy HMS Amphion
from:Lyme Regis, Dorset, England
Thomas Gollop, from Lyme Regis, served on HMS Amphion with my uncle Herbert Street. The Stokers had apparently had a break for cocoa just before Amphion struck the mine. Herbert had finished his cocoa and returned to the boiler room where he was killed. Thomas took a few minutes more to empty his mug and thus survived.
