    Default Hello

    Hello, I am Tom Orrock, Melbourne, Australia.
    I am interested in Cecil Andrew Mitchell, pumpman on various tankers. He was my uncle from Bermuda. Sadly he passed away back in 1976 aged 72.
    If anyone has any memories/pictures of him, I would be very grateful.

  2. Thanks Doc Vernon, Des Taff Jenkins thanked for this post

    Tom
    Would you know if he was ever in the Army in the USA ,as there is a record of that exact name and DOB ??
    Just wondering also a POW in Japan around 1945?
    Cheers

    PS If there is a CRS10 for his Records it should be found here.
