"Ireland saved Lloyd George's life.He and Kitchener had projected a visit to Russia, in order to inspirit their flagging ally. At the last minute, Lloyd George called off, because of the negotiations over Ireland. Kitchener went alone. On 5 June the Hampshire, with Kitchener on board, struck a mine within two hours of leaving Scapa Flow. Kitchener and most of the crew were drowned."
