    Hi Keith,

    Thanks for that! I take it that you found that at National Archives?

    Royal Artillery Maritime Regt DEMS gunners records are not held at Kew, they are still held by the MOD. The only way to find out what Merchant ships he served on is if his Maritime Card is still in his service file. A lot don't exist anymore. You would need to ask specifically for this Maritime Card when applying for his records. https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military...-elses-records

    Thansk DeepSea,

    somehow I think that could be fun! I do not have a service number - could they do it from a d.o.b. (always assuming he signed up under his real name!)?

    Actually, if he did sign on with a merchant ship as a " deck hand ", those records are at the KEW as I have explained above...ARAWA - Log Book 12-12-44 - Title Page.jpgARAWA - D.E.M.S. - CREW ROSTER - p 1.jpg

    Chayter ???
    Hi Doc,

    The years I would be looking for would be 1940/41. Dad's Mum's maiden name was Burt.
