Sapr. James Delaney Artisan Work Company Royal Engineers (d.4th March 1942)
James Delaney was buried in Scotland. He was my grandmother's brother who had 11 siblings. He has a surviving son born 1934. His elder brother died 1983. All I know is that his mother lost her eldest son in WW1 and her youngest son in WW2. His son has always wondered as to why he died in Scotland as he was in the Army, yet his brother always insisted he was connected to the Arctic Convoy.His wife and family had not the ability to travel so far from home in Salford. Gladys never had the opportunity to visit his grave.

Spr. Sydney Lea 663 Artisan Works Company Royal Engineers (d.17th Jun 1940)
My grandfather, Sydney Lea, also went down on the Lancastria on 17th June 1940. He died on his birthday. He was washed up in Ste Marie Sur Mer and is buried in the local cemetary there along with a few others who also lost their lives. The War Graves Commission helped me find him and arranged for his headstone to be changed to reflect this. I visit as often as I can but would like anyone who knew of him to please get in touch.Mandy Heath
