(HMS
Copra, was never anything other than a shore base. I have the names of
many recorded lost from HMS Copra because, sadly, the names of the craft
they were serving with at the time of their deaths, was not recorded. The
use of HMS Copra on grave stones, in pay books and other service records
confirms that the men concerned were in the Royal Navy and assigned to
Combined Operations..... and that they served on and/or were lost from an
unknown landing craft.)

HILL MEMORIAL, Panel 62.
Local memorial -

Information: By kind permission of Mr Billy
McGee from his book "They Shall Grow Not Old"
Cargo ship Koranton,, 6,695grt. (R. Chapman & Sons)
had loaded with a cargo of pig iron at Philadephia for Hull and sailed
to Sydney, Cape Breton where the ship joined up with the 40 ship Convoy
SC-25 which left Halifax, Nova Scotia on 10th March 1941.
During the crossing two ships were forced to return due to bad weather
and the Koranton found herself straggling the main convoy and was soon
sailing alone and vulnerable and was last sighted on 24th
March.
After failing to arrive the ship was recorded in
May 1941as missing/untraced and a Joint Arbitration Committee considered
the loss 40% “Marine Cause”, 60% “War Cause” around the 28th
March.
The ship had actually been intercepted by U-98
South West of Reykjavik and hit in the stern by a single torpedo and
sank almost immediately before any distress message could be sent taking
all thirty four men with her in approximate position 50’ 00N 27’ 00W

The following poem is attached to an original photo of Edward but the
original photo has deteriorated very badly.
Just to have seen him and clasped his hand
Before he was called to a better land
His battles are o'er and God thought best
To take him to a beautiful home of rest.
A lonely grave in France
Where a brave hero sleeps
There's a cottage home in England
Where a mother sits and weeps
