What a sad ending for poor Sambo. Alone, scared and dying in a strange place. Thanks for including the link. It is nice that up his resting place has been remembered and is being taken care of.

Not many people had or still have a good word to say about Merchant seaman, but these men showed compassion for a fellow crew member and did not see his colour or creed.
