Among
the names of men missing as a result of the loss of a small auxiliary
vessel, H.M.S. Northern Rover, appears that of Roger Thacker,
telegraphist R.N.V.R.
A
son of Mr. F. C. Thacker, well-known Birmingham printer, Mr. Roger
Thacker was a keen motorist in peace time and had taken part in
many competitive events, including the Monte Carlo Rally and the
R.A.C. Rally.
The
Admiralty announcement last night said :
The
Secretary of the Admiralty regrets to announce that H.M.S. Northern
Rover a small auxiliary vessel, is consideirably overdue and
must be presumed lost.
The
next-of-kin of the personnel have been informed.
The
Northern Rover, a vessel of 655 tons, was on patrol, from which
she failed to return. She was one of fifteen super-trawlers built
at Bremerhaven, Germany, for the Mac Line, Fleetwood, in 1935. Two
years ago all fifteen ships were transferred to Grimsby. They were
among the biggest trawlers afloat, being 188 feet long.

“O
Lord of Hosts, stretch forth Thine arms to strengthen and protect our
loved ones on land and sea or in the air. Help us and them to see, through
all the clouds of war, the vision of Thy peace for which we strive. Grant
to us all self control and steady purpose that the Kingdom which is not
of this world may be established in the hearts of men everywhere, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”
