He was an assistant steward on the ship S.S. Stancliffe which was travelling from Narvik, Norway to Immingham, Lincolnshire with a cargo of iron ore. At 09.42 hours on 12 April 1940 the unescorted Stancliffe was hit on the starboard side just ahead of the bridge by one G7e torpedo from U-37 about 50 miles north-northeast of Muckle Flugga, Shetlands. The ship sank within 8 minutes after the foreship had broken off with the master and 21 crew members lost. The U-boat went alongside of a lifeboat and took a man aboard for questioning. He was allowed to return to the boat with cigarettes and a bottle of rum. The 16 crew members in the lifeboat made landfall at Haroldswick, Unst Island, Shetlands. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
