Attack Date vs CWGC Date of Death
Posted by: Hathorn Hill ()
Date: April 12, 2017 11:23AM

Hi,
I have a relative (George Henry Hatfield) who was on H.M Trawler Stella Capella.

UBoat.net records show the attack occurring on March 11th 1942 and the ship sinking in 2 mins 30 seconds with all hands lost. However the CWGC has date of death listed as March 19th.

Is that gap just a delay in the official registering of the death or could George have survived for 8 days?

I ask because we are adding his name to a family grave stone and I'd like to get the date of death correct.

Thanks.
