Il ne semble pas y avoir de nominal roll, j'avais eu le même problème avec le naufrage du navire Hopital Llandovery Castle : 234 morts dont les 14 infirmières et 77 membres du personnel médical canadien, les noms sont ici , sur le Halifax Memorial (et il y avait un nominal roll !)...On 4 May 1917, the Hired Transport "Transylvania", proceeding to Salonica with reinforcements, was sunk by torpedo off Cape Vado, a few kilometres south of Savona, with the loss of more than 400 lives. The bodies recovered at Savona were buried two days later, from the Hospital of San Paulo, in a special plot in the town cemetery. Others are buried elsewhere in Italy, France, Monaco and Spain. SAVONA TOWN CEMETERY contains 85 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, all but two of them casualties of the "Transylvania". Within the cemetery is the SAVONA MEMORIAL, which commemorates a further 275 casualties who died when the "Transylvania" went down, but whose graves are not known. Richard Bert Quew is one of the 275 names on the memorial.In terms of the unit designation; the 1/1st Hampshire Yeomanry were amalgamated with the 15th (Service) Battalion (2nd Portsmouth), Hampshire Regiment on 27th September 1917 and became the 15th (Hampshire Yeomanry) Battalion. Why is this later unit shown on CWGC for Pte Quew instead of 15th (Service) Bn, given that the amalgamation took place after Pte Quew died? The most likely scenario is that Pte Quew was initially reported as 'Missing' and was not 'for official purposes assumed killed on 4 May 1917' until several months later by which time the unit had changed its designation. As reinforcement to Salonica Pte Quew may have been destined to join the 10th (Service) Bn or 12th (Service) Bn of the Hampshire Regiment.
