Lusitania medals

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Sea captain's medals go on sale for £30,000 a century after his liner the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat killing 1,200

Commander William Turner was in charge of the passenger liner when it was struck by a torpedo fired from a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland in 1915.
