Madam, - On the weekend of October 10th to 12th for the first time ever, the towns of Dun Laoghaire and Holyhead will jointly commemorate the loss of the mail boat Leinster. The sinking of the Leinster by a submarine in 1918 resulted in the greatest ever loss of life in the Irish Sea.
The organisers of the event would like to hear from the relatives of people who were lost in the sinking and the relatives of survivors. - Yours, etc.,
PHILIP LECANE, Chairperson, Leinster Commemoration Group, 77 Windsor Drive, Monkstown, Co Dublin.
