Hi Mark
More confusing in the case of STELLA CAPELLA is that there are two different dates of death listed for her crew members in the records of the CWGC: most with 19 March 1942, but some are listed with 11 March. Probably because their deaths were originally reported as "between 11 and 19 March 1942"?
As I explained in my previous post the STELLA CAPELLA was sunk only four hours after leaving Seydisfjordur - on 10 March 1942, so actually both dates used in the records of CWGC are incorrect.
Best regards
