More about John Angus

John Angus was the son of Mr Robert Angus of Bridgend, Perth and he attended the Dundee Institute of Technology to gain his qualifications. The SS Meaford, registered in Canada, was a bulk cargo vessel designed for the Great Lakes in North America and was sunk in the Atlantic by the German submarine U-63. There were no survivors. John Angus is remembered in the Perth Golden Book but the SS Meaford is not listed on Tower Hill Memorial in London probably because the ship was not registered in Britain.
