Description

On New Year's day 1915, the aged British battleship HMS Formidable was sunk by the German submarine U-24 - the first such sinking of a major capital ship by a U-Boat in the Great War. The authors, intirigued by the listing of four of Formidable's crew on their local war memorial in Crewe, set about reconstructing the Formidable's almost forgotten story.
