Have this ship in my research. Got in touch with Joseph Kudasik, Guy Moulton, Conrad Baker, and George Fitton. Looking forward to get in touch with the others in order to exchange information.

My grandfather was Harry Alexander (coincidentally we have the same middle name, ‘Lister’.) He passed away before I was born, but my father was in touch with someone before his own death who had an entire service record for the crew and the subsequent capture of the 8 crewmen.
