Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if my great grandfather William Bruce is mentioned on the
WW1 memorial in London to the SS FALABA ? Is there a pic of it anywhere ? I'd love to know if he's
commemorated somewhere.
Regards,
Daryl

Didn't you say he was a passenger? I think the memorial is for crew members.

Hi Meg,
Yes, he was a civilian on his way to Accra. Is there anything official that would tell me he drowned ?
A mention in a newspaper article ?

The newspaper link was also posted here

This may be the only confirmation you will be able to find, Daryl, but keep searching... you never know, something else may turn up!
