Arandora Star is an unknown quantity at this point

Trying to find out about the supposed 46 civilian casualties of the sinking of the SS Arandora Star buried in the cemetery at Glencree - can anyone help please. I have a full list of those who embarked on the vessel and it included civilian interness and POWs also whether or not they were survivors or casualties.

I live about half an hour from Glencree in Ireland. There is a German Cemetery for WW1 & WW2 there. Is this the place you mean or the church cemetery???

Here are a few pics from the German Cemetery at Glencree... Just found a load on my PC!








Lots dated May 1941... I will try and go through the rest of my pics and check the grave dates!
