Private John Reynolds RAMC and the sinking of the HMHS Britannic - 21st November 1916

There is an excellent article on Wikipedia about the HMHS Britannic and its sinking on 21st November 1916 of Kea in the Aegean Sea 

Despite carrying over 1000 passengers and crew at the time of the sinking, only 30 people lost their lives. One of the survivors was Private John Reynolds who wrote letters home to his parents and friens in Sheffield describing his experiences

  

The propeller's John mentions were possibly some of the largest ever manufactured - HMRS was a sister ship of the RMS Titanic after all!
