100th Anniversary of the loss of Hogue, Cressy and Aboukir

Three Royal Navy Cruisers (Hogue, Cressy and Aboukir) were lost/sunk by enemy submarine action on 22nd September 1914 off the Dutch coast in the North Sea. The ships were manned with reservists from the Chatham Division and the 1, 273 names of those lost are recorded on the Chatham Naval Memorial. The first shot of the war was fired at end of August and the first loss was of HMS Pathfinder on 5th September, but this loss of three cruisers was one of the worst days for the Royal Navy so early in the war.
