@rnshiplosses.bsky.social16 Sept 1918 // Coastal defence ship HMS Glatton caught fire in Dover harbour, threatening the town with a devastating magazine explosion. This was prevented when she was scuttled with torpedoes by HMS Cossack. A total of 79 men lost their lives. (IWM SP 2595 & SP 2083) #RoyalNavy #WW1 #NavalHistory
@rnshiplosses.bsky.socialThe Court of Enquiry cleared Captain Ramsey of HMS Pasley and his officers of any blame for the tragedy, and made a point of assuring the midshipman who had ordered the ramming attack that he was not at fault and had acted justifiably and correctly in the circumstances. #RoyalNavy #WW1 #NavalHistory

Cheadle, Cheshire used to remember the Parish's WW1 war dead on the day the memorial was dedicated on September 1921.
They would do this again in November too.
