The French held the line to the left, with the Italians to the right. The front was comparatively quiet until the Austrians attacked in force from Grappa to Canove in the Battle of Asiago (15-16 June 1918). The Allied line was penetrated to a depth of about 1,000 metres on 15 June but the lost ground was retaken the next day and the line re-established. Between June and September, frequent successful raids were made on the Austrian trenches.  |

MURA'S) CHURCH OF IRELAND CHURCHYARD Additional Information: Son of Joseph and Harriett Chapman. Cause of Death: Killed or died as a direct result of enemy action Official Number Port Division: 737038. Ship or Unit: HMS Laurentic Location of Grave: Not recorded Relatives Notified and Address: Mother: Harriett 4, Eldon Place, Eccles, Manchester 1911 census - a 15 year old clerk working at a builder and contractors office, living at 4 Eldon Place, Patricroft, with his parents Joseph and Harriet, and siblings Ernest, Jessie, Elsie and Nellie. "SS Laurentic was built by Harland & Wolff at their Belfast yard No. 394 and went down the slipway on 29th April 1909. A few months later, the same Belfast workers began construction on her famous cousin, Titanic.
In 1917, SS Laurentic was chosen to carry forty-three tons of gold bullion from Great Britain to Canada. On 25th January 1917 SS Laurentic struck a mine and sank within an hour in 40 metres of water with a huge loss of life and all the gold bullion worth more than the reserves of most small countries in today’s values.
An incredible salvage feat between 1917 and 1924 recovered 3186 gold bars of the missing 3211 with a further 5 being recovered in 1932 by another salvage operation, leaving 20 gold bars still unaccounted for at the bottom of Lough Swilly worth some £10 million at current prices."Visit the SS Laurentic site here |
