Burial/memorial information
Son of Frederick John Bradshaw and Bertha Annie Torry.
The Crusader was to join the SC-53 convoy, but due to fog she never did. On November 14, 1941, at 3:37 a.m., she received three torpedoes from U-561 and sank, position 49°30'N/37°15'W. The only survivor, out of a crew of 34, was taken prisoner and brought to the Marlag und Milag Nord camp at Westertimke, north-east of Bremen, Germany. Upon her liberation in 1945, the story of this freighter will be known.
