My Great Uncle, Donald I Johnson, died on the HMT Rohna. I heard as a child he died in the Mediterranean Sea after a submarine attack. I did not know the truth until last week when I found newspaper articles in the Rockford Register Star newspaper archives (Illinois) with basic details of his service that included his unit number. On a whim I googled the 853rd Engineers + World War II. We had no idea - I am positive his parents and siblings all died without knowing what really happened! Thank you for publicizing this story.
