William Crew

Post card of HMS Monmouth

Lost on HMS Monmouth at the Battle of Coronel 1st November 1914.

A German Squadron under Vice-Admiral Graf von Spee was visiting the Far East, and following some initial operations in the Pacific, decided to return to Germany via Cape Horn. Aware of his presence off the coast of South America, a small British force sailed into Chilean waters under Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock: it consisted of three old cruisers, (HMS Good Hope, Glasgow, Monmouth) and an armed merchant cruiser, Otranto. An old, slow battleship (HMS Canopus) followed. Having left the latter some 300 miles behind, Cradock met von Spee's ships off Coronel, Chile. At the Battle of Coronel, 1 November 1914, the British were outgunned, and Cradock opted to try and inflict damage on a German squadron a long way from home. He was killed when Good Hope blew up, and Monmouth was sunk. He had ordered Otranto to escape, and Glasgow, though damaged, did too. All hands on HMS Monmouth were lost, a total of 675 men.
