Hi Chris

These were the survivors from the SMS Konigin Luise which was sunk by HMS Amphion

on the 5/8/14, who herself was lost when hitting a mine laid by Konigin Luise in the

English Channel.

The loss of life was 151 men and 18 German prisoners. A fuller account can be found

in Dictionary Of Disasters At Sea.

Regards

John
