The Story of the SS City of Cairo: Part Three
Learn more, visit: www.londonmintoffice.org/cairo-treasure
The story of the SS City of Cairo is an incredible story of tragedy, treachery, courage, and endurance. On a cold November night in the South Atlantic, a British passenger ship carrying a top-secret cargo was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.
With no news of the sinking reaching the mainland or the nearest land, a small island some 480 miles away, all hope for the survivors drifting in six damaged lifeboats seemed lost.
Yet, against all the odds, two-thirds were rescued, and a record-breaking salvage operation would later bring her secret treasure back to the surface and into the record books.

Since the Falklands Conflict, Simon has been awarded a variety of medals, including the South Atlantic Medal. Having read many thoughts of soldiers on the medals they received, I was curious to know what this meant to Simon.
Reflecting on the Falklands Conflict

Since the conflict, Simon has made a full recovery and gone on to talk about his time in the Falklands as well as carrying out a variety of charity work. During our interview, Simon shared with me his memories and feelings of the Falklands.

During the bombing of the RFA Galahad Simon suffered 46% burns and was left with a long recovery process. Here he tells me what helped him through.
What were your feelings while travelling to the Falklands?

Simon explained how he didn’t intend to join the Welsh Guards straight away, instead he originally wanted to join the Royal Regiment of Wales or the Military Police. He thought the Police would be a good plan as he could look at joining the police force on his return after the conflict had ended.

    A day to spend in reflection and remembrance. My Father in Law was a Flight Lieutenant in Bomber Command in a Boston and his funeral is on the 11th at 11 o'clock in the morning. I have always remembered the wonderful men and women who lived through the wars for our freedom, we owe them so much. God bless them all.

    I had totally forgotten that I had watched this video before, but I remember the feelings in my heart as I sat here and watched it again. My late Dad was in the Royal Navy and my late Mum was a land girl until her Mother's health declined and Vera Lynn was extremely admired and loved by them and their parents. We were brought up knowing about Vera Lynn and listening to her on the radio and learned to love this wonderful iconic lady ourselves. Sadly none of us ever met her or saw her live but even now she has gone to her rest this loving caring and beautiful spirit will not be forgotten. RIP Dame Vera, may your light shine for evermore. Mary-Ellen Johnson
