 JACKSON, Garibaldi, Engine Room Artificer 3c, M 33565

 (the following information is courtesy Ian Claxton, who also enhanced and sent the photograph showing ERA Jackson holding Roma, the oldest of his two daughters, not long before his death. "Both daughters are still alive, the younger is my customer, and lives in Christchurch UK. The remains of both men were interred in the military cemetery in Gibraltar but reports to the family said that 'the torpedo fell across Jackson before exploding and that Chief Stoker Burt was blown to "smithereens"'. It is suspected Jackson's fate was the same but the authorities declined to elaborate further. The family have inquired about the actual location of a grave but have been told it has been 'lost' and only a 'plot' location is available." If you have any further information on the explosion, please contact ian.claxton1@btinternet.com)
