Stkpr. John Ernest "Jack" Paine
Merchant Navy SS Gloucester Castle
from:Millwall
(d.15th July 1942)
My merchant seaman grandfather Jack Paine died in July 1942 when the Gloucester Castle was sunk by the German cruiser Michel. I have some information about it and know there were a number of survivors. I want as much information I can get, including stories from any survivors, and I also want to find out if my father's cousin, who came from Canada, was also killed on the ship.
