Sad. *There were 120 Irish folks aboard as 3rd class. Only one, Anna

Oh, I don't know if she "threw it away" . maybe she thought of it as

Yes, My maternal great grand parents came here from England in the
mid-1880's and some of my great grandfather's cousins were in the 16th
Ulster's . From what I gather 7 of them went to Flanders.

And stayed.
