Robert Doherty, of Coleraine, was among the twelve NI men who died with Kitchener in HMS Hampshire in 1916. They included Hugh McNally, a young RN doctor, who was also the Commanding Officer of the Irish National Volunteers in Belfast. On this day in 1944 Rome celebrated its liberation and a Royal Air Force meteorologist recommended to Dwight D Eisenhower that Overlord be postponed one day to June 6 because of bad weather.
