HC Deb 08 February 1915 vol 69 c245
84. Mr. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that five men of His Majesty's ship "Good Hope" were landed on a rock or islet in the Pacific previous to the naval engagement in which that ship was sunk; and if he will give the names of these men?

Mr. CHURCHILL

One acting warrant officer and four men had been landed from the "Good Hope" before she was lost. Their relatives were informed of their safety shortly after the loss of the ship was made public, but it is not proposed to publish their names.
