Steward
My dad James Winstanley was a Steward for P&O from the age of 16 he then went on to troop carriers when the war started.
I assume he was on the Atlantic and the Pacific as he has the medals. He was on the Winchester in 1944 and on the Pretoria Castle in 1939.
I would like to know where I would find the records for him that will tell me where he was and which ships he was on, can anyone help please?
