Burial/memorial information
Son of Kenneth Michael Durham Carter and Mary Ann Olford, of Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Husband of Alfreda Jane Mullett, of Saint John's, Newfoundland. Father of George B., Phyllis L, and Jean Carter.
Brother of Private George Blake Carter, regimental number 842586, 26th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, killed in action at Vimy, France, 15 August 1917, and Private Hugh White Carter, conscript in the United States Army, regimental number 4005, of the Second World War. The latter did not take part in the battle.
On 10 December 1941 the Nereus, which left St Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, with ore, was sailing alone when it disappeared at sea. No German submarine claimed to have sunk her. Her wreckage has never been found. Sometimes coal boats accidentally caught fire from coal residue accumulated in the hold.
