    First of all Thank You from the bottom of my heart, I am completely blown away by the detail that you have managed to find on my Dad and Grandfather. I just have asked the National archives for a copy of the Record but I am not sure how to extract the info for the CRS ? Again I feel quite humble that you have helped me find out about my Dad.Thanks Again Alex

    Thanks for your great research, my uncle Richard I am led to believe was on the HMS Thuringia an ASW trawler ? lost at sea 28.5.1940 ? if that is so then both my uncle and Grandfather were already lost when my Father went to sea?.

  17. Thanks Captain Kong, Keith Tindell, N/A, Doc Vernon thanked for this post
