Richard died when the ship he was serving on, HMS Good Hope was lost in action of the coast of Chile in 1914. The normal complinet was 900 crew, none survived

HMS Good Hope was a Drake class heavy cruiser. When completed these were amongst the faster ships in the world, and even in 1914 their top speed of 23kts compared well with the 23.5kts of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the more modern German cruisers that would sink the Good Hope at Coronel.
The Good Hope served in home waters for much of her career. In 1906 she was the flagship of the 1st Cruiser Squadron of the Atlantic Fleet, and was one of the largest cruisers in the fleet. However that year saw the completion of HMS Dreadnaught, and a revolution in warship design. The next generation of cruisers would carry more of their heaviest guns, dangerously blurring the lines between the cruiser and the battleship and resulting in the heavily armed battlecruiser.

In 1908 the Good Hope became the flag ship of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron at South Africa. In 1913 she went into the naval reserve, but in July 1914 she was re-commissioned during the Test Mobilisation that took place just before the outbreak of the First World War.
At the outbreak of war, the Good Hope joined the 6th Cruiser Squadron as part of the Grand Fleet. However, she was soon detached from that squadron and sent to reinforce Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock's South American Squadron, becoming his flagship.

Cradock was under orders to intercept Admiral von Spee's cruiser squadron. This contained five modern cruisers, amongst them the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau. These were also pre-Dreadnaught cruisers, but were much better armed than the Good Hope, each carrying eight 8.2in guns, six of which could be used on any one target (four of the guns were carried on the sides of each ship). The Good Hope's two 9.2in guns were the only guns in the British squadron that were not outranged by the German 8.2in guns

Learning that von Spee was planning to sail into the South Atlantic, Cradock took his fleet into the Pacific. There he was ambushed by von Spee at Coronel (1 November 1914). The Good Hope was lost with all hands, (as was the Monmouth), without causing any significant damage to the German fleet. Having been crippled earlier in the battle by fire from the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the Good Hope was eventually finished off by the German light cruiser N

was the father of the child. Henry along with various other witnesses was
summoned before the Church Session at Torphichen Manse on 1 Oct 1855 the
Moderator, William Branks declared "The Session having reviewed the evidence
led are unanimously of opinion that the fact is established to their
satisfaction that Henry Aitken has been in the bed with Helen Lauriston and
that consequently he had been guilty with her of the sin of fornication. "

The informant of the death of Henry Aitken was his step-father, James Crawford

After 9 days entombment another 5 were rescued. No more were saved. Alex's body was recovered from the Bar Run Section on the 7th/8th of Nov. So this became the date of death. The official cause of death was asphyxiation by drowning. Other relations of Alex were also involved with the disaster
