(d.5th July 1941)
My uncle was lost at sea on 5th July 1941. He was in the troopship SS Anselm sunk by U96. The Anselm had 98 crew and 1,210 troops - of these 4 crew and 250 troops were lost. My uncle was going to Canada via Freetown for pilot training. If anyone has lost relatives on the Anselm, contact me and I can give them more details and a photo of the SS Anselm.
