|
This article commemorates the centenary of the tragic loss of the battleship HMS Victoria and 358 of her crew, together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, as a result of an enigmatic order by Tryon himself. It also investigates the medical aspects and explores the contention that Tryon was suffering from Malta or Mediterranean fever (Brucellosis). |
