19 – Any survivors?

Let’s be honest here, there is very little chance that we will be able to find any survivors of this disastrous adventure. The youngest sailors in convoy SL 125 were 17 years old at that time, which would make them 98 today. However, by word of mouth and thanks to the formidable power of the Internet, we can bet that we will be able to come into contact with some descendants of the survivors or victims of the convoy attack. The sailors of the civilian ships were French, English, Norwegian, Portuguese, Indian, Dutch… Let us not forget their enemy! Young German submariners who took part in the attack may still be alive… if so, will these potential survivors still be able to talk to us? Nothing is less certain. Like Marius Fayard, they however may have left testimonies. On some blogs, we can find here and there second-hand testimonies put online by the sons or daughters of surviving sailors. In any case, there is no doubt that if we manage to create a significant attention around this project, we will gather unexpected testimonies!
