First World War 1914-18 War Medal to Casulty J. 14155 Able Seaman Charles William Julings, Royal Navy, H.M.S. Natal, Died 30th December 1915 and is commemorated at the Chatham Naval Memorial.
Shortly after 15:25pm on the 30th December 1915 without warning, a series of violent explosions tore through the rear part of HMS Natal. She capsized in a period of five minuets after the explosion. The explosion was caused internally within the ships ammunition magazine, where divers discovered in either the 9.2inch shell room or the three pounder and small arms magazine possibly due to faulty cordite. The Admiralty issued a revised list of the dead and missing that totalled 390 in January 1916, but did not list the women and children on board who were present for a party that day. Losses are listed from 390 to 421
