The tragedies of WWI did not end with the Armistice.
The centenary of one such occurs in two days' time, when it will have been one hundred years since a vessel carrying troops home to the Isle of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland sank with the loss of more than 200 men, hitting rocks within yards of the shore and minutes of her destination of Stornoway harbour.

Some of the bodies of those expected to arrive on the yacht were discovered washed up on the beach by members of their own family.

I saw a good documentary about the disaster a year or two back but can't remember the title. There was one made in 1989, which is due to be shown on BBC Alba (Gaelic TV channel) on Tuesday. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it has English subtitles.
