Trimmer. John "Jocky" MacIver

Royal Navy HMS Forfar

from:Ullapool, Rossshire

(d.2nd Dec 1941)

Uncle John McIver was lost in the Atlantic when HMS Forfar was torpedoed on 2nd December 1940 a few months before I was born. I never knew him, but my father took me to see his name in the War Memorial in Edinburgh Castle when I was ten.

He had been on the Iceland run in HMS Forfar and got two weeks' leave to go home to Ullapool while the ship was being refitted to go to Canada in a convoy, which, under the Lease Lend scheme would be met halfway. The family were relieved at this. It seemed safer than the perilous Iceland runs - but it wasn't.
