GALLAGHER, PATRICK (HMS Yarmouth Crew List (Photographs)) (HMS Yarmouth Crew List) (Index of Ship Interest Groups) Narrative Source Photograph PATRICK GALLAGHER My great grandfather, Patrick Gallagher, HMS Yarmouth stoker. Not to sure on the story, but at some stage (so we were told) the Yarmouth hit a mine and poor old great grandad was buried under the coal as he was in the bunker at that time. .We were told he was under the coal for 3 days ...but as the story was told I am sure a few hours was added every time British navy from 1914 to 1918.
