The sinking of HMHS Llandovery Castle on 27th June 1918 was a last-ditch effort by German High Command to bring about an end to The Great War.
Like the aeroplane bombings of Canadian and British Hospitals on the Western Front in May 1918, it was hoped the British public would demand an end to the war, and
such deliberate atrocities.
The sinking was the deadliest Canadian naval disaster of The Great War with 234 casualties, discounting the 251 people killed in the Southern Cross Disaster of 1914 on
the ships Newfoundland and SS Portia.
There were 24 survivors from HMHS Llandovery Castle - all found in a single lifeboat.
