| Description |
Arctic convoy: Ludlow’s Ivan Hall (right) with fellow merchant seaman Rogers in the Brazilian port of
Santos. Ivan eventually found himself on board the SS St Clears, ice-bound in sub-zero temperatures at the Russian seaport of Archangel. When the ice cleared he returned to Britain, the St Clears loaded with timber and paper pulp, as part of the fateful convoy PQ13. Five of the convoy’s ships went down when they ran into a minefield. Ivan’s luck held until his ship was attacked and sunk off the North African coast. (Herefordshire Lore/Ivan Hall) Reproduced by kind permission of Herefordshire Lore - www.herefordshirelore.org.uk |
