The Mendi disaster was one of South Africa's worst tragedies of the Great War, second perhaps only to the Battle of Delville Wood. 660 sailors lost their lives in the collission with the S.S Darro off the coast of the Isle of White on 20th February 1917.
Every year, we attend the Memorail Service at Hollyrood Cemetery to remember those who lost their lives in the tragedy.
Next year will be the 100th Anniversary of the disaster.
