HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 c342W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if it is proposed to in any way mark the devotion and gallantry of the officer and men of His Majesty's ship "Dundee," who perished with the German raider "Leopard"?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The devotion and gallantry of the officer and boat's crew of His Majesty's ship "Dundee," who perished with the German raider "Leopard," were recognised in the "Gazette" published on the 18th April, 1919, which contains the comments of the Commander-in-Chief, Grand Fleet, upon their gallant conduct; a report of the officer in command of His Majesty's ship "Dundee" upon the incident wherein he states that Lieutenant Lawson, R.N.R., and the boarding boat's crew were volunteers; and the covering letter of the captain of His Majesty's ship "Achilles," the senior naval officer present at the action, who expresses his great regret at the loss of the boarding party, and appends a list of the crew.
