I was Third Engineer on the Albert C Field when it was torpedoed. I joined the ship in Barry on the 20th May, so I was not on it to long. The ship was sunk shortly after I had come off watch. I was asleep and wakened by the explosion, and when I put my feet on the deck it was wet, and the next thing I knew was that I was in the water and saw the ship going down. I was hailed by other crew in the water and was pulled onto a raft where we were soon picked up by a Royal Navy Flower Class trawler, and landed in Portsmouth the following morning. I only discovered the names of the lost crew many years later when I visited the Merchant Navy Memorial on Tower Hill. The ship's Master, J.R.Bramley, was one of the missing.
