The SS Strathallan was one of more than 2000 ships torpedoed by German U Boats during the Second World War.

It was a short life for such a ship. Launched in March 1938, SS Strathallan left the Clyde on what would be her last trip on 11th December 1942. She had on board more than 4,000 troops, 250 nurses and General Eisenhower's Headquarters
