1902, 12TH FEBRUARY - SAMUEL FLOWERDAY, O.N. 219736, BOY SEAMAN TO ABLE SEAMAN, CTB 28TH AUGUST 1914. SEE NOTES BELOW

From Dave Taylor.
I spotted this WGC headstone in the cemetery in North Walsham, Norfolk when tending my mums grave. It piqued my interest so I did a bit of research. Samuel joined Ganges 12/02/1902 and died at the battle of Heligoland 28/08/1914 whilst serving on HMS Liberty. If you google Samuel Flowerday or HMS Liberty you can get all the history.
Thanks to Dave Taylor for sharing this and to Pete Fisher for finding Samuel's service records.
