Hi my nans brother was on board this ship when its was torpedoed in 1942,
his name was arthur george alexander his brother was frederick alexander and his sister was my nan, elsie alexander,
he was an ordnance mechanic, if this is the ship you are referring too.
I have been trying to find out the history of this ship to retrace his movements all them years ago, there does not seem to be much history about the ship on the internet or at any libraries.

do you have any relatives on the ship?

kind regards
