Re: Radio Officer, SS. Gairsoppa, 1941
There are no photos held with CRS10 documents. There will probably be no CRS 10 anyway as they commenced Jan, 1941 and he died in February. Any MN id photo would only be in BT 372 and he doesn't have one unfortunately.

Re: Radio Officer, SS. Gairsoppa, 1941
Hello,
This just came up on Google when I was looking for the latest on my uncle Radio Officer Robert (Bob) F Hampshire. I have a photo of him which is posted on an ancestry family tree along with some other facts about his family. My mother was his younger sister, their mother and father both died in the mid 1930s and their uncle Fred became their guardian. my first name is Robert (after my uncle) although I have always been known and use my other name, Neil. As far as I can make out none of Bob's siblings knew he was buried at the Lizard, they all understood he had been lost at sea. (as per the official record of his death)
