World War Two / Re: SS British Chivalry

Hi Claire
It’s been a while since I checked in on this site but was thrilled to see your reply. I would certainly be interested in hearing any information you are able to share. My mam will be 87 this year and still talks about her Father. It would be great if I can pass on any information good or bad regarding that fateful day. My Grandfather by all accounts had lead a colourful life, a stowaway at 14 and a prisoner in World War I. He lived and worked in the Australian outback and for many years in the Merchant Marine. He’d also been torpedoed on two ships prior to the SS British Chivalry!!
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks
Mark

Hi everyone,
My Grandfather was killed on board the British Chivalry (JJ Gallagher) and his daughter (my mam) was 9 years old at the time. She’s now 85 and still with us, she can remember quite vividly being visited at home by some of the ships survivors and her understanding of what happened concurs with almost all of what I have read regarding the atrocity that it was.
I would be very interested in any survivors reports or information regarding the incident. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
