Daniel Burrows was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, in March 1895. He was the son of William and Margaret J. Burrows, of 63, Union St., Portsea, Portsmouth. He joined the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class in September 1913, and advanced to Stoker 1st Class in January 1915. Burrows served with H.M.S. Amethyst from 28 January to 14 March 1915, and was killed in action on the latter date. The Amethyst took part in the covering operation for the minesweeping effort in the Dardanelles and during the actions on 1 March and 4 March 1915 she exchanged fire with Turkish forts. On the evening of 4 March she took on board injured personnel of the landing party and discharged them the next day into Soudan and SS Braemar Castle. During the hours of darkness between 6 and 11 March she took part in operations in the Dardanelles against mines, and was frequently in action against field artillery, forts and searchlights. On 14 March at 04:10 she was hit by field artillery and lost 22 men killed. A further 38 men were wounded, of whom 4 later died. Stoker 1st Class Burrows is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
