I wondered if you might know the answers to my brief questions anyway? Pulling together internet threads & checking the report of the inquiry and Commonwealth War Graves records, I wanted to check:

1. Michael Sinnott's body is buried in Penzance. One thread says his body was washed up there, but this seems unlikely looking at the map. I wondered if he lived in Penzance? 
2. Was his body recovered separately OR was it picked up by the USS Parker? 
3. IF his body was picked up by the USS Parker, is it included in the '9' reportedly picked up by the Parker?  (If this was the case, of the '9', the 2 dead would be Sinnott & fireman Jesse White, who died on board, with 7 brought into Milford Haven/Pembroke alive. but RAMC Private Samuel 'Harry' Lund dying the next day in hospital would mean  only 6 ultimately survived from the Parker. However, my head count matches contemporary newspaper reports if there are 7 survivors from the Parker, 22 from the French yacht Feon, and 153 dead including Sinnott, White and Lund = 182 total on board.) 
4. There were also newspaper reports of a body in a lifebelt having gunshot wounds - these stories were later discredited, but I wondered if they could have pertained to the finding of Michael Sinnott's body? 

If you know the answers, it would be wonderful - but please do not let me waste too much of your time. If you have a current email address and are able to show Ben Breen my specific questions, it would also be wonderful!

I will be attending the service for the crew of the Glenart Castle on the 26th and was wondering what time the service started, if anybody could tell me when it starts I would be very grateful as we are travelling from London and do not want to miss it. Tanks in advance.

As in the previous message left by Jamie Staple my paternal grandfather was in the R.A.M.C. serving on the Glenart Castle when it was sunk in Feb.1918. It had a devastating impact on his family, which they never fully recovered from. I too would be interested in any information as regards a centenary commemoration in February 2018. Also I would be interested to know if there are any photos of the ships crew as none of my father's family had a photograph of him. My grandfather's name was Thomas Hyatt (P.V36053.) I have been to the Holybrook Memorial in Southampton and found the names of all the crew lost on that day, it is a very moving tribute to all the men and women lost at sea.

Many thanks,
Anthony Hyatt

My maternal grandfather, Andrew Duncan, was one of the casualties on the Glenart Castle. I'm interested on any group involved with marking the 100 years in 2018. I live in Bridport, Dorset and have visited Hartland, but didn't know of a memorial. Next visit I will go looking for it. Andrew's death had a devastating affect on his family, three young children and my widowed grandmother. My extended family would like to mark the centenary of his death. Any info will be gratefully received.

Yours sincerely,
Jamie Staple
