Bury, Claude D. Sub-Lieut HMS Landrail. Case 41158
Haycroft, E.G. Gunner HMS Landrail.
On the 5th August 1914, shortly after the German mine layer Konigen Louise had been sunk in the North Sea a German officer was seen in the water in an exhausted state. Bury and Haycroft plunged overboard and kept him afloat till they were picked up.
