My Grandfather was a Soldier on this ship when it was torpedoed. His name was Paul Griffith and was assigned to the 213 Aero Squadron. He survived. I found a photo under gallery of soldiers who survived and were part of a burial detail. I recognized my Grandfather as one of the soldiers. He is the fourth one from the right, back row. This is truly amazing. John M. Eador January 30, 2007	My cousin John Eador informed me about your wonderful website SS Tuscania - An American History. The Tuscania Survivors photo taken on Islay, dated 12 Feb. 1918, literally took my breath away. Paul Griffith is the fourth from the right in the back row in that photo. Thank you for an outstanding website. Donna Forney-Clark http://forneyclarkgenealogy.com Feb. 6, 2007
