The commander of the German U-20 submarine who ordered the devastating torpedo to be fired at the Lusitania and the officer who launched the strike have sidebar links to another dramatic event in Irish history — the 1916 Rising.

Congratulations to all who were involved in the publication of the Lusitania commemorative supplement in Friday’s Irish Examiner.
