2nd Eng. Hans Joergen Keiding
Merchant Navy Erna III

(d.25th September 1941)
My uncle Hans Joergen Heiding was in the Merchant Navy. He served on Erna III which was torpedoed by U562 after staggling behind Convoy SC 44 22 in September 1941. This ship was eastbound from Sydney and got into rough weather. There were no survivors. He also sailed in the Danish ship Slesvig in 1940 and perhaps a ship called Rikke. Does anyone remember him?
