This page includes basic information about the ships and how they were lost, a photo of the relevant panel(s) of the Tower Hill Memorial and information about those that lost their lives extracted from the CWGC database. In the table I have included information about those who served on the ships but who had a normal burial as this seems appropriate to me. In some cases further family information about the individuals may be available on the CWGC website [7].

Britannia
She was a 8,463 GRT steam Passenger/cargo ship that was sunk on 25 March 1941 by gunfire from German raider Thor at position 08° 37' N 25° 28' W - 720 miles West of Freetown. Brittania was en route from Britain to India with 281 passengers and 203 crew when intercepted. The liner put up a stout fight with her single gun for over an hour but it was a very unequal struggle and she was compelled to stop and discharge all on board into boats; Thor then sank her and made no attempt to assist survivors.
One boat containing 63 people was picked up by Spanish steamer Bachi; another with 38 people on board reached Brazil after 23 days. Overall 122 of the crew and 127 passengers lost their lives.
