Birot) was hit by one of two torpedoes fired by U-124 (Mohr) near convoy ONS-100 and sank immediately after the boilers exploded in position 52º12'N, 32º37'W. The commander, 58 French sailors and six British sailors, including the liasion officer Royce Theobald (RNVR) were lost. The four surviving French sailors were picked up by the Canadian destroyer HMCS Assiniboine (Cdr. J.H. Stubbs, RCN).
The majority of the French sailors that went down with this ship all came from the same small comunity of St-Pierre et Miquelon. The loss of so many of the young men had lasting effects on that comunity. Commanding Officer: Hit by U-boat |
