Cecil William DANIELS at Norwich

Sinking of the HMT Royal Edward; 13th August 1915. On the morning of 13 August, Royal Edward passed the British hospital ship Soudan, which was headed in the opposite direction. Oberleutnant zur See Heino von Heimburg on the German submarine UB-14 was off the island of Kandeloussa and saw both ships. Von Heimburg, seeing the properly identified hospital ship, allowed Soudan to pass unmolested, but soon focused his attention on the unescorted Royal Edward some 6 nautical miles off Kandeloussa. Von Heimburg launched one of UB-14's two torpedoes at 09:15 from about a mile away and hit Royal Edward in the stern. The ship sank by the stern within six minutes.

Royal Edward's crew was able to get off an SOS before losing power. Soudan, after making a 180° turn, arrived on the scene at 10:00 and was able to rescue 440 men over the next six hours. Two French destroyers and some trawlers that responded were able to rescue another 221. The Royal Edward had just completed a boat drill and the majority of the men were below decks re-stowing their equipment and were unable to reach the upper deck in the few minutes before the boat sank. The Royal Edward was the first troop ship to be sunk in First World War and resulted in the loss of about 1,000 lives. Its sinking highlighted the vulnerability of the troopships and measures were taken to rectify this.
