SS Empire Celt - torpedoed 24 Feb 1942
« on: Monday 24 September 07 03:19 BST (UK) »
I should greatly appreciate any improvements which can be made to the attachment. The photograph was taken from the quarterdeck of another vessel and is of the stern section of my grandfather's command, SS Empire Celt which was torpedoed off Newfoundland on 24 Feb 1942 by U-158.

Many thanks.

Many thanks and appreciation for your individual efforts.
A Man Utd crest hm?  Perhaps I should have used the Celtic crest on mine.
