Sgt. Geoffrey William Singleton

British Army

from:Croydon

My father, Geoffrey Singleton is a survivor of The Lancastria Disaster.Aged 25,He was on the deck when the ship was hit and managed to dive and swim, he was picked up by a French fishing vessel and then the Sir John Holt. In the thousands thronging on the quay he managed to see my mother's uncle, who got on the Oronsay and watched in horror as the Lancastria was sunk, he sailed back to England with no idea what to tell the family about my Dad. A lifelong member of the Lancastria Assosciation, my Dad used to attend Cenotaph meetings in June, and now 96 and in very failing health he still remembers the ship and those terrible experiences.
