His Discharge Number was R72904. His CR1 contains confirmation of his death on Lancastrian Prince in 1943.

Re: Chief engineer uniform
Hi Vernon.
My information came from the U-Boat Net and B.V.Lost at sea.
Lancastrian Prince 1,914 tons Built Smiths dock Middlesbrough for Furniss Withy, completed in 1940. All the crew are named in the U-Boat net including Stanley Taylor who is named as the Chief Engineer .
I have yet to see the U-boat Net get the wrong ships picture.
Cheers Des

Yes Des
I too have the same on my Link in my reply in Post #2 ,and this is what is confusing as the other Pic I found is a different looking Ship but still the Lancastrian Prince . Possibly an earlier one ?? I must look into it
Cheers
