HI ROB, no problem happy to help, one more photo and

http://www.merchantnavyofficers.com/rm2.html check this site out. tony

[Rob Bulloch]

Thanks again Tony.

The second Photograph is great, its different from the usual Port or Stbd view that you usually get of a Ship. Tony do you know if there is a crew list available for HMS ATTACK on line, the reason I am asking is there were two lads from my area were crew members and were drowned when she went down

Cheers Rob.

Hello David.

Thanks for the list this is a great help to me, I am trying to compile a list of casualties Merchant Navy and Royal Navy crews on the "Troopship Aragon" and "HMS Attack" my Grandfather 303015 Pte George Clarkson 7th Royal Scots was on board The Aragon when it was torpedoed, he managed to got off, and was taken aboard the HMS Attack, which as you know was also sunk, he survived both attacks a very lucky lad.

Cheers Rob.

If it helps a little, the Bedfords who were drowned on the Aragon are here - http://www.bedfordregiment.org.uk/ssaragon.html Recently had the relatives of one of them get in touch, which was interesting.

Steve.

Thanks for the link to the 5th Battalion Bedford Regiment, I am trying to make up a list of casualties on both the "SS ARAGON" and the "HMS ATTACK" Is there a passenger list for the ARAGON ? is there a crew listing for the "HMS ATTACK" or an honour roll? I have some old newspaper cuttings of the sinkings, they give information on the casualty numbers for the "ARAGON," with photographs, but nothing for the "HMS ATTACK" any information you have, or if you could point me in the right direction, this would be great help.

Thanks again Steve Cheers Rob.

VIBERT, PERCY H., L/SEAMAN (RFR B 6047), 203532 (Po), ARAGON H.M. Transport (hired), 30-Dec-17, SHIP LOSS.

I can have a look at the Times on line for a list if you do not already have one? If you dont, email me and I will have a look in the next day or two.

[Rob Bulloch]

Steve. Thanks for your offer of the Times look-up I will Email you regarding this.

David. Thanks for your help on this, for some reason I could not open the file you sent me, I think my old PC is giving me a bit of bother.

Thanks again Regards Rob.
