1941 | H43 | AB Arthur Hall D/JX 208267 died. The circumstances of his death are not yet known but the Submarine Museum records indicate that he was a ‘buoy jumper’. He may have been drowned after falling in whilst either the Submarine was mooring to a buoy or slipping a mooring. He is noted as being buried in Londonderry, thus the Submarine may have been operating from that Port. |
