<HTML>Hi Andes & Frank

On the 12/5/42, U 558 sank the a/s trawler HMS Bedfordshire
off Cape Lookout, North Carolina. The trawler was on loan to the
U.S Navy. There were no survivors but 4 bodies were washed up
on Ocracoke Island. They were buried on the island and the site
is now a Commonwealth War Cemetery, the lease was handed
over to the Commonwealth War Craves Commission in 1977 at a
ceremony attended by the entire island population. Two other men
from the Bedfordshire\\\'s crew were buried in the Baptist Cemetery
at Creeds, Virginia.
