One hundred years ago today Gary Cargill’s great uncle Francis Sulley was captured and detained along with the rest of the crew of the SS Georgic by the German surface raider SMS Moewe (the Seagull). This took place in the middle of the North Atlantic. This began an episode where he was taken to Germany and held as a prisoner of war for 2 to 3 months and released BEFORE the US entered the war on April 6, 1917. So we were really in the war sooner than we thought!
