In memory of Ross Charles Cole
Born 15th March 1916
Died 17th September 1940, aged 24
I HAVE SPENT YEARS TRYING TO FIND THIS:
Naval Gunner on the SS Tregenna, torpedoed by UB64 in the North Atlantic, whilst providing convoy to a merchant fleet bringing steel rods from the USA to Scotland. Ross had finished his shift, and was asleep below when the torpedo struck amid-ship. The ship went down in 2.5 minutes. Only four hands survived.
