Steward. Arthur Overman
Merchant Navy SS Orama
from:London
Arthur Overman is my Great Uncle, he was a Steward on the cruise ship SS Orama. The ship was sunk on the 8th June 1940 by the German Battle Ship Hipper. My Great uncle was captured and spent the war in the German prison camp Stalag X111A. I have uploaded a photo of the captured survivors from the SS Orama, if anyone can name anybody in the photo please get in touch.
I never met my Great Uncle as he died before I was born, if anybody knew of him I would love to find out more.
