A special service of rememberance is being planned to commemorate the Rohilla Disaster. The Rohilla, a 7,400tonne hospital ship ran aground off Whitby in October 1914. Of the 229 people on board 84 lost their lives. On board were several nurses and a large group of men who had all been part of the same St John Ambulance Brigade in Barnoldswick, Lancashire. If anyone is interested, please e mail .

Hi again Florence. Do you know yet whether the service is on the Anniversary itself or on the Sunday?
