Quite a long read, but a fascinating account of a small island community's response to the sinking of two US troopships (one torpedoed, one storm-wrecked) 100 years ago.

Very moving. Underscores just what was lost forever between 1914-1945. The world lost the best of its genetic stock. Sorry but it is no a surprise that Western civilization is devolving into hedonistic debauchery and committing cultural suicide. The best never procreated.

Looks like all the bodies (the ones they found) were exhumed and returned to the US, all but for one:
Gonna have to pick up a nice scotch from the Kilchoman area, where most bodies washed up and were buried, for a proper salute, of course!:

Quite a long read, but a fascinating account of a small island community's response to the sinking of two US troopships (one torpedoed, one storm-wrecked) 100 years agoIn 1942, a navigational error put two US destroyers and a troop transport aground on Canada's Newfoundland icy shoreline. Small fishing communities assisted with the rescue, although nearly 200 died.
Written by a Canadian, the book was not permitted to appear in the US. (But I've read it). ;)
