The Irish flag. There was an anomaly in the CWGC records, the "Walmer
Castle" was shown as having two masters! This has been resolved when I
found the web site giving the story of the sinking of the Irish ship "City
of Waterford". As Captain Aplin died on the "Walmer Castle" I decided that
it was appropriate, although not employed by the Company to leave his entry
in the site.
