Found a thread on another forum about 247 company RASC :
"The documents suggest that this ship was carrying supplies from Piraeus to Kalamata and was lost in heavy seas. " There is also ' a letter of recommendation for bravery' for one of the crew which includes the following passage ; "with a crew of 11 RASC personel from "I Detachment" 247 Coy RASC Piraeus had sunk in a heavy sea off Cape Grosso at 1700hrs Tuesday 3rd July 45." http://www.bmpt.co.uk/motor-launches...c52_page2.html
