I have my grandfathers ww2 record from the MOD. I have since found out he was on the ship RMS Laconia that was torpedoed by German u boat. They were rescued by the German crew when they discovered it wasn't a troop ship. It was then bombed by the Americans he was adrift in a life boat for 5 days until he was picked up the French troop ship Glorie and taken to Casablanca. I was wondering if anyone knew why he boarded the Laconia in Cape town? Also does anyone else know of any survivors on the laconia? Love to hear!
