Comment just received from his daughter…
My Dad, Chief Petty Officer, Douglas T Laurie, was on his way to deck as he just finished his shift in the Engine Room when the Athabaskan was torpedoed . He too was taken Prisoner of War.
My Dad passed away April 19, 2013.
These were all brave men.

The Athabaskan truly was an Unlucky Lady to lose so many brave men.
