TRAGEDY OF 1942
DISAPPEARANCE OF THREE BRITISH SHIPS. THIRTY SURVIVORS REPORTED TO BE IN JAPAN, (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON. June 15. Thirty Britons now in a Japanese prison camp may one day explain one of the war’s sea mysteries. They will be able to tell what happened to the Gloucester Castle and two other British ships which vanished without a trace early in 1942 in the Atlantic with all hands. These ships had long been written off and the relatives mourned the crews as lost, but the International Red Cross had unexpected news from Japan that 30 survivors of these ships are war prisoners there.
