In June 1916 Field Marshal Lord Kitchener was dispatched to Britain's ally Russia on a fact-finding mission aboard the

cruiser HMS 'Hampshire'. On 5 June the ship struck a mine that had been laid by the German submarine 'U-75' off

Orkney and sank. Over 500 men, including Kitchener and his staff, went down with the vessel.
