206222 Private Ernest Jephcote British Army Sherwood Foresters from:Ilkeston Derbyshire My father was one of those on the Lancastria when she was sunk. He was lucky enough to be rescued after a number of hours in the water. After the war he spoke very little about his experiences only saying that the survivors had to swim through burning oil. What he went through that day remained with him for the rest of his life. As a result he was never a well man, suffering from breathing problems every day until he died in 1977. If any one has any information about dad or knew of him I would love to hear.
