Captain Olaf K. Egidius. Please go to M/T Daghild for more information on her war voyages (incl. a crew list at the time of loss). NOTE: In the Norwegian magazine "Krigsseileren, Issue No. 1 for 1975 I came across a letter written by Edward Driscoll, who sailed on board Daghild at some point. I mentioned this, in case any of his relatives should happen upon this website, looking for information. Instead, an Irish visitor to my site saw the note, and Mr. Driscoll has since been located in Wales - see the end of my text for Fjordheim, as well as his own story on this page. |
