When "Eulima" was torpedoed, 3/O John Campkin was taken aboard the U-boat. I was 3/O with John Campkin when he was Master on "Vitrina" in 1972, and he told me that the U-boat crew gave a chart, course to steer, and food, to the men in the lifeboats, but they were never seen again. He had three ten-shilling notes in his wallet, and these were taken from him by the U-boat crew. In 1945, as the Soviet army approached Marlag, the prison camp for merchant seamen, the prisoners were assembled by the Camp Commandant, who told them that they were to be released, but that they must first reclaim their personal possessions. They made him check the serial numbers of the ten shilling notes before he was allowed to leave! |
