“John Bruce had nine children, two of whom were lost in the 'Avila Star', torpedoed by U201 in the Atlantic in about June 1942 with a number of members of British community in Bs.As.” Buscamos y encontramos:

Lost: 5/07/1942 when torpedoed by the German Submarine U-201, NE of the Azores, in position 38.04N, 22.48W. She was on a voyage from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Freetown, Sierra Leone with a cargo of 5,659 tons of frozen meat. Forty five crew and 17 passengers were lost.
El U-201, segun http://www.uboat.net/boats/u201.htm was sunk seven and half months after: 17 Feb, 1943 in North Atlantic, in position 50.50N, 40.50W, by depth charges from the British destroyer HMS Viscount. 49 dead (all hands lost).
Lynette Patterson nos dijo el 15/9/02 que Norah tambien estaba en el bote que llego a evacuar el barco, con Robert, y que bajo con su tapado de piel. A la mañana siguiente, el bote habia desaparecido con ellos.
Al parecer, el padre de Nora y Ronald los hizo viajar a presentarse como voluntarios y Bob los acompaño porque estaba enamorado de Norah...
No se casaron... En ningun lugar figuran juntos, salvo en la lista de los caidos...
Pero yo los uno aqui como estaban unidos...que queden asi para siempre.
