Kitchener Memorial Includes Other Orkney Victims

"A memorial for 737 men who died when a WWI warship sunk off Orkney as it was carrying Lord Kitchener on a secret mission will also commemorate nine more men - including an Orcadian - lost in the same minefield.
HMS Hampshire sank near Orkney’s Atlantic coast on 5 June, 1916, after hitting a German mine while sailing to Russia.
Seventeen days later, on 22 June, the drifter Laurel Crown was one of eight vessels on their way to sweep for mines near the site of the disaster when she too struck a mine and was lost, with all hands.
The names of the nine Laurel Crown men who died will be engraved on an HMS Hampshire commemorative wall being created next to the Kitchener Memorial at Marwick Head."
