2/Eng. William John Gilbert
Merchant Navy SS Harperley
(d.4th May 1943)
The SS Harperley was torpedoed 500 miles south of Cape Farewell by U264 on 4th May 1943. I am looking for photographs and information about the Harperley. My uncle Jack Gilbert, 2nd Engineer, was one of those lost with the ship.
