Eoin English

A 90-year-old woman from Wales, who was plucked from the sea as a one-year-old along with her mother after the Cunard liner was struck by a German torpedo, may be in Courtmacsherry on Saturday for the events.

But it was confirmed yesterday that an elderly Scottish man, who heard the massive secondary explosion while walking on the Old Head of Kinsale on the afternoon of May 7, 1915, will attend.
