Tomorrow will mark the 90th Anniversary of the death of my great great grandfather, Robert Strachan.

His vessel, HMT Waltham, was struck by a mine just of the Isle of Man on 10th October 1917. He served with the Royal Naval Reserve for three years before his death.

His death notice:

Fraserburgh Herald Honour Roll : 26th October 1917.
“Engineer Robert Strachan
Fraserburgh
Mrs Strachan, 75 Frithside Street, has been notified by the Admiralty that her husband Robert Strachan, engineer on H.M. Minesweepers, has been lost at sea. Engineer Strachan, who was 49 years of age, had been on war services three years, before which he was an engineer on Fraserburgh herring Drifters. His son Robert is in the Gordons, and his son George is a Sea Scout.”

His wife of 27 years remained a widow for her remaining 42 years. As well as the two adults sons mentioned, he left an 11 year old daughter and a son in the belly of its mother.

My Great Grandmother's half-sister married in Masham.  She had two sons before her death in 1891 - Ernest Walter MOOD and Herbert William MOOD.  After her death her husband remarried and had more children including Thomas Ryder MOOD, Percival MOOD and Raymond MOOD.

Herbert William MOOD was in the Yorkshire Regiment and died in November 1918
Raymond MOOD was also in the Yorkshire Regiment and was killed in August 1918
Percival MOOD was in the Royal Berkshire Regiment and was killed in November 1917

Ernest Walter MOOD had fortunately emigrated in 1905 to California, he was drafted, I don't know if he served in Europe but if he did he did survive because he died in 1967.
