Hi
Oh how wonderful is this technology. Thank you Jim for submitting this photo and I too would like to know if you can identify anyone here, my grandfather did not survive this explosion either, his name Denis Coyle Scrimgour, I have just started building my family tree and trying to piece information together.

My father survived the explosion he was pulled from the water by two fisherman after 3 quarters of an hour we think his rank was torpedoman his name is Edward Stupple his age would have beeen between 17/19? he went on to complete his service in the RN pensioning off in 1936 and being recalled in 1939. any news or photographic evidence would be gratefully received.

The loss of HMS Natal







Do you happen to have a list of the names of the crewmen shown in your photo? A distant cousin of mine was Lt. Engineer William Black and he was amongst the crewmen not to survive that fateful day in 1915. It is a possibility that he is amongst the crewmen shown but as I have no photgraphic evidence of him it is impossible to tell one way or the other.
