Individual Details

Michael, a fireman and trimmer with the Merchant Navy during World War II, was lost at sea in 1942 while serving on the S.S. Clan Ferguson (Glasgow). The steamer was a member of the Operation Pedestal convoy sailing from Scotland to Malta when she was sunk off the Tunisian coast by torpedoes and aerial bombs. Michael is remembered on the Tower Hill Memorial (panel 30), which is located on the south side of the garden of Trinity Square, London, close to The Tower of London. The Memorial commemorates men and women of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets who died in both world wars and who have no known grave.
