Hello

Can anyone help with with an Army casualty query? I would like to find the names and ranks of the 7 Army Service Corps personnel lost in S.S. WOODFIELD on 3 November 1915.

Many thanks in advance.

All best

Their names are listed on the Gibraltar Memorial.

Check their names on the CWGC site by searching on 'Cemetery' and putting in 'Gibraltar Memorial'.
