It is with sadness we announce the passing over the bar of Mrs Eileen Smith MBE aged 86 who was a past longstanding stores officer at TS Southampton. 
Mrs Smith joined the unit in 1967 and ran the Stores until 2006 when ill health meant that she could no longer manage the job. In 2004 Mrs Smith was awarded the MBE for 37 years of volunteer service to Southampton Unit, which saw 100's of cadets issued with uniforms.
Rest in Peace Mrs Smith - God Bless

 

The Mendi disaster was one of South Africa's worst tragedies of the Great War, second perhaps only to the Battle of Delville Wood. 660 sailors lost their lives in the collission with  the S.S Darro off the coast of  the Isle of White on 20th February 1917.

 

Every year, we attend the Memorail Service at Hollyrood Cemetery to remember those who lost their lives in the tragedy.

 

Next year will be the  100th Anniversary of the disaster.
