Finally, it is necessary to contradict the rumour that has recently been given currency to the effect that bodies of officers and men belonging to the Hampshire were subsequently washed up on the Scandinavian coast, and that it is probable that Lord Kitchener's remains may have been buried there. The bodies recovered and buried on that coast after the sinking of the Hampshire were those of officers znd men who lost their lives in the Battle of Jutland a few days previously. None of the Hampshire's dead have ever been identified and buried on those shores, and there are' good reasons for regarding it as most improbable that the sea would have carried them there.
