Alfred "Taff" Watson
Royal Navy SS Anselm
from:Friars Road, Lundwood, Barnsley
My grandad, Mr Alfred Watson, Taff as he was known at sea , was the Anslem when it was sunk and survived for 18 days in a lifeboat without any food or water. He hardly spoke about this as it upset him deeply although there was an article in the Barnsley Chronicle which gave some information on the torment they all went through.
If any one has any information or pictures of the SS Anselm or of my grandfather please contact me I would be ever grateful.
