On the 26/02/1916 the S S Dido was sunk just off the Humber estuary when she was hit by a mine laid by the German U Boat UC7 with the loss of 28 of her crew. For the past 95 years 10 of her crew have laid in unmarked graves in 2 Hull cemeteries. But no longer, They will be marked in due coarse with headstones by the CWGC. If any one requirers any information as to the names of the crew who's resting places have now been located then please contact me. :)

Nice work PetejStevens.
In the general scale of things, this may seem of little consequence but it is important that these men are commemorated by the CWGC with an appropriate headstone.
I salute you sir for your efforts.
Lest we forget
