Identity of officers, pictured above, of H.M.S. Jervis Bay, British armed
merchant cruiser, sunk in a gallant battle with a German pocket battleship in
the North Atlantic on Nov.5, while defending her convoy of 38 ships, was
established last night by Paymaster Lieut. J.G. Sargeant and Sub-Lieutenant Guy
Byam-Corstiaens, two of the survivors of the hero ship, who arrived here
yesterday to remain with friends in Saint John and Rothesay prior to returning
overseas.
