Born in the USA, RL Martin is currently commemorated
in the MN Tower Hill Memorial, but a recent discovery
by the "In from the Cold" Project showed that
his remains were found floating in the sea of Corbiere
in August 1915 and that he was buried in Jersey. He
lost his life when the ship was engaged by a German
submarine (U39) in an action that later saw the award
of a VC to its master, Captain F Parslow.
