On 4 July 1915, the Anglo Californian was attacked in the south of Ireland by U-39 which damaged her with cannon, killing 21 crew members, position 50°15'N/09°00'W. She finally managed to get to Queenstown (now Cobh, Ireland) to be repaired. Sold in 1916, she became the Vandalia and was sunk by U-96 on 9 June 1918 without casualties. Her captain Frederick Daniel Parslow was posthumously awarded a Royal Naval Reserve commission and the Victoria Cross (VC) for manoeuvring under fire from U-39.

Burial Information
TOWER HILL MEMORIAL
London, United Kingdom
N/A
THE TOWER HILL MEMORIAL stands on the South side of the garden of Trinity Square, a hundred yards East of Mark Lane Station, and just within the boundaries of the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney and the Liberty of the Tower. It is at the hub of maritime England. Behind it are Trinity House and the offices of the Port of London Authority, and the Thames stretches before it; the wide space of Great Tower Hill, leading down from it to the river, is the traditional forum of merchant seamen and their fellow workers. Lloyd's is on the North, the Custom House and Billingsgate Market are near it on the West, and beyond the Tower, Eastwards, is the long line of the Docks the greatest dock system in the world.
