He was torpedoed on it but I honestly don’t know where. Very likely the same place. He’s not alive to ask now and nobody would be likely to know.

10 killed in the attack from U-Boat U-295 on Nov 2nd 1944 in The Barents Sea, just after leaving Murmansk in Convoy RA61. Eventually returned to Liverpool on Dec 11th, in the next convoy, RA62, after temp repairs in The Kola Inlet.
