FORCE OF 264 ABOARD ST. DIDIER SHIP SUNK IN TURKISH WATERS. TWO OTHER VESSELS ON WAY FROM SALONIKA. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) ANKARA, July 8. The Saint Didier, the Vichy ship sunk by British aircraft in Turkish waters, had’ on board 264 Vichy troops and a crew of 16.
