H.M. Submarine "Tigris" was reported as overdue on the 10th March, lost in
the Gulf of Naples. 

His 10 year old son Ernest, the eldest of his five children, received his

HMS Tigris (Lt.Cdr. George Robson Colvin, DSC, RN) left Malta on 18
February 1943 to patrol SW of Naples. She failed to return to Algiers on 10
March 1943 and was declared overdue on that date. Tigris was most likely
