The Final Crew List (2)
Below is the final crew list of Asiatic's (Lascars), (149) from the ss CITY OF CAIRO. This total includes the two spare Lascar crews who were travelling to the UK for service on other ships. The information is from the National Archives, Kew, London, from file BT381/1828.
There are bound to be some spelling mistakes with the list due to some difficulty reading the hand writing in the original document.
For those Lascars who died at sea and are commemorated with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, you may notice, on their website, that some of the names have been shortened and in some cases spelt differently from those on this list. All the names on this website have been transcribed direct from the official crew list. The numbers on the left of the table correspond to the seafarer's position on the Articles of Agreement. Of the 155 Asiatic crew who signed Articles, 6 left the ship prior to the last voyage, 66 were lost and 83 survived. *1 crew member, SK Hassan SK Imam, died in Cape Town on 9th April 1943 from Pulmonary TB.
I am indebted to Roger Griffiths for the complete list below.
