From Mr Billy McGee.....
Cargo ship Ashcrest, 5,652grt, (Crest Shipping Co. Ltd) had loaded a cargo of steel at Philadelphia for Middlesbrough and joined up with the 43 ship Convoy SC-13, which left Sydney, Cape Breton on the 22nd November 1940. During the crossing the ships encountered a severe North Atlantic storm and five ships were forced to return to Cape Breton while a further three foundered and one other was wrecked off the Irish Coast. On the 8th December at 10.19 hours (GMT) West of Donegal in position 55’ 12N 10’ 02W the Ashcrest sent a distress signal stating her rudder was broken and then nothing more was heard from the ship and her thirty-seven crew. A Joint Arbitration Committee considered the ship lost by “Marine Causes” on the same day, while a Missing Ship Committee considered her lost on the 9th. In fact the Ashcrest had been drifting helplessly towards the coast of Donegal when she was sighted by U-140 some ten hours after her distress signal had been sent and subsequently torpedoed and sunk in position 54’ 35N 09’ 20W.

His great nephew Les Lacey writes....

"He was killed by a German sniper as he sat down for a smoke and removed his helmet, he was shot in the head and died instantly. When his mother read the telegram informing her of his death she passed out, her mother picked up the telegram, she read it and she also passed out. His mothers sister was in the room and she had to bring the two around and comfort them both. He had just turned 19 yrs."

from the South Wales Argus on the first anniversary of his death

The dearest son the world could hold,

A daily thought a silent tear

A constant wish that you were here.

Allways in the thoughts of

sorrowing Mum, and Gran.
