Re: John Ransome
Hello John
Thanks for that and could you also post details in the Crew List .
There will be more info if you obtained your CRS10 which will hold all your Service Records

This of course is your Pouch Link in case

Your Seamans Pouch should have dates of any Ships recorded ??
Your CRS10 would be found amongst this Group at the N Archives but one should go in Person
Cheers
