My father served aboard this ship during the early 1930's and I have been researching it for some years.
On 16/01/1941 she was torpedoed and sunk by U96 100 miles north west of Bloody Foreland (Northern Ireland) in the vicinity of Rockall. (My father was no longer a crew member by this time.)Some 106 survivors were landed at Campbeltown from HMS Tenacity during the days following.
I am very interested to know if the local press reported any of these events - admittedly unlikely because of war casualty news embargo. Are there any local history details? It is possible, although again unlikely, that victims may have been buried locally and/or their names appear on local war memorials.
I would be pleased to hear from any one who can provide informatio. Thank you, Peter Jones.
