Hi all - I am a little confused - maybe someone can help!!! I have a copy of a letter for compensation from my Great Grandfather for articles lost when 2 of the ships he was serving on were lost.
The letter states the ships were:
SS Eufforbia (? spelling) - sunk December 1st 1917 and
SS Begonia - lost March 21st 1918
I'm sure you can see where I am confused, since the only reference to SS Begonia being lost is from Oct 1917!! Maybe there was another SS Begonia lost the following year?
