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].

L.S.D.
L.S.D. was a 24 GRT sailing fishing smack completed in Brixham in 1909 and owned by Samuel Deveson of Ramsgate where she was registered as R.50. She was posted as missing and was not seen again. It is believed that she struck a mine and was destroyed by it.
There were no survivors
I am grateful to Sue Wilson for providing the following press cutting from the Dover Express [77] which describes the vessel being five days overdue.
Those lost on L.S.D. are also commemorated on a memorial in Ramsgate Sailor's Church.
The following exchange in Hansard for 23 June 1925 gives an insight into the shabby treatment of the dependents of fishermen who were killed in the war:
Mr. HARMSWORTH asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that Mrs. E. Bugden, of 13, Bur-gate Street, Canterbury, widow of the second hand of the fishing smack "L. S. D.," late of Ramsgate, who lost his life through the blowing up of the ship by enemy action in 1914, has only been awarded £50 compensation, as compared with an amount of between £300 and £400 paid to the widow of the third hand and the sum of £1,050 paid to the widow of the skipper of the same vessel; and whether he will award Mrs. Bugden such extra compensation as will make the total compare favourably with the awards made to the widows of the other two seamen?
Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Mrs. Bugden's case was received too late for consideration by the Royal Commission on Compensation for Suffering and Damage by Enemy Action, and; could only be considered in connection with the £300,000 fund provided for solatia to belated claimants. The maximum payment out of that fund is £50. The claims of the skipper and third hand were submitted in time for consideration by the Royal Commission in connection with the £5,000,000 fund. In the circumstances the answer to the second part of the question must, I regret to say, be in the negative.
