hi , my uncle edward ( teddy ) maher served on the anselm as a trimmer , not sure what that job entailed ! he was one of the unlucky ones who unfortunately did not survive the torpedo attack by u 96 , all we know about the anselm is what i have read on the internet .
we did apply to see if my uncle was entitled to any medals and we were glad that he was awarded the 1939/45 war medal and the atlantic star,hope this is of any use to you !
