Tour Scotland video of the Sea Mine War Memorial on ancestry visit to West Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. Peter Graham, who was just 15, and coal miners Colin Smart, George Storrar, James Anderson and David Laing lost their lives after the device exploded near Lady's Rock. It is thought that they were trying to move the mine to prevent it being carried by the tide towards the village, where it could have claimed more lives.
