I read with great interest about your father being a survivor of the Abosso. I have been undertaking a lot of research about the sinking of the Abosso. My main focus has been the fate of the internees returning from Australia. There were 43 internees on the Abosso and 42 drowned. There was one sole internee survivor an Italian man named Ugo Achille Bonelli. Only in the last 2 months I found his son in England after 2 years of intensive research. Ugo survived 3 separate u boat attacks-Arandora Star, Dunera and the Abosso. There were 29 Jews in the 43 internees.
I am very interested to learn about your father who escorted the internees. Would you please send me any information about his role on the Abosso. Further, you mentioned that your father was interviewed by the Times. Would you kindly please advise me how I could find a record of his interview.
I spoke to a man in London the other night. His grandfather was one of the internees on the Abosso who drowned. He is going to send me the log of the Uboat that sunk the Abosso.
