HMT Eros

Following on from my post re Skipper Turrell does anyone have the casualty list for the hired trawler EROS, sunk on 05/09/1917 by a mine off Folkstone. From the info already supplied (thanks again guys) I'm pretty sure Turrell was not aboard the Eros when she sunk but I just want to make sure.

Thanks in advance,

Donny
