Newcombe, Francis



There were 2 Chief Stokers aboard, neither of whom survived and one of whom improvised a tourniquet for Commander Jones before abandoning ship. Chief Stoker Newcombe, aged 44, was picked up by a Danish vessel, but despite not being severely wounded, died of exhaustion. His body was landed at Hull.
