Died at sea due to enemy action, 8th August 1940 (age 31). The M.V Upwey Grange, under the command of Capt. W. E. Williams, on a voyage from Buenos Aires to London, was approximately 200 miles W. of Achill Head, Co. Mayo, on August 8th, 1940, when she was attacked by a German submarine (U37). At about 9.50 a.m. she was struck by two torpedoes in quick succession, both on the port side, the first exploding in the engine room and the second in way of No. 6 hatch. The vessel settled by the stern with a list to port and orders were given to abandon ship. Son of Mary Keiller, of 52a Oxford Road, Kilburn, Middlesex, and of the late Frederick George Keiller.
