Arthur Lott
Navy HMS Newcastle
I have a friend, Mrs Doris Lott, who is currently visiting me from UK. Her husband (deceased), Arthur Lott, was a Torpedo Operator on the HMS Newcastle when it was torpedoed in the Mediterranean. His friend Kenneth Dobbs (Doris Lott's brother) was also aboard the same ship when torpedoed on the 15th of June 1942. I am told the ship was sailed backwards (stern first, because of damage) to the Boston Shipyards in Boston, Massachusetts for repairs.
