    Default Father

    Hello, My Dad never talked about what happened,now that he is gone and I am passed his age when he died I would love to find out all I can,like how to apply for his service records and his medals,how to find out which ships he was on. I know that several of the ships where sunk,he was Chief Steward. He worked his way up to this position,if that's the right title.I would appreciate any help I could get for myself and my eight siblings.Thanks ever Carole Hull

    His Medal Card is at this Link also Downloadable,i see that the DOB differs a bit but that is quite possible as old Records were hand done in those days and errors were made ,I have come across many with errors.
    Cheers
