The ship was carrying troops to the Middle East via the Cape of Good Hope. On 11 August 1942 Laconia disembarked 3000 troops outside Port Tewfik and the following day sailed out of the Suez Bay, with officers, men, civilians and 1600 Italian POWs under Polish Guards. After reaching Durban the ship was full and sailed for England on 31 August with 3000 passengers of which 120 were women and children.Just after 8 pm on 12 September Laconia was struck by a torpedo followed by another torpedo minutes later, the ship was fatefully damaged and heeling over. Buckingham's main responsibility was to jettison all confidential and secret code books and mail which were stored in lockers in the Captain's chartroom and also to help survivors in the below decks.The ship took 1.5 hours to sink and during her last moments, Buckingham eased his way down the sloping hull to the protruding keel and dived into the sea. He spent 14 hours in the water having found floating debris and later used a floating corpse wearing a lifejacket for buoyancy. He spotted a lifeboat and swam for 2 hours to get near to the lifeboat. The lifeboat was full and he had to swim for another lifeboat close by and was hauled in by 13 Italians and 1 RAF Aircraftsman. He subsequently learned that several men had been taken by sharks.On the morning of 14 September, the small convoy of boats set sail for the African coast which was 600 miles away. Buckingham's boat led the way and the following day an Italian submarine passed them and an aircraft was heard overhead. At about 4 pm another submarine was spotted coming from astern this was the German U-boat U-507 commanded by Captain Schacht. The U-boat was towing 4 other lifeboats. Buckingham and his crew were ordered out of the lifeboat and onto the deck of the submarine and searched. The British survivors were ordered back into the lifeboats and the Italians were sent below. Buckingham was asked to form a list of all the survivors and the plan was to transfer them to another ship, however, due to a technical fault with the radio finding aerial preventing bearings from being taken off any ships approaching, the decision was made to let the lifeboats go. They were cast off with food supplies and water but Buckingham was taken POW and having spent a further 47 days at sea was sent to the Merchant Navy POW camp Milag which was 18 miles from Bremen. He remained there until 29 April 1945.Buckingham continued to serve with Cunard Line until his retirement on 31 March 1967 but on 19 August 1951 whilst serving as 2nd Officer on Queen Elizabeth which was lying on anchor near Cherbourg when he dived into the sea to rescue a French stevedore who had fallen down the luggage chute. For this Buckingham was awarded the King's Commendation for Brave Conduct (London Gazette - 20 November 1951), he also received the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society Medal included in the lot. The French government also recognised his bravery and awarded him the Silver Medal 1st Class Merchant Navy Medal of Honour on 2 May 1952. He died in Bournemouth in 1982.
