Terence Whiffen
Dear All,
I am trying to find any information regarding my late father in law Terence (Terry) Whiffen and his service in the Merchant Navy. Terry was from Eltham, London and joined the Merchant Navy circa 1951 and served until circa 1955.
His daughter (my wife) would be so happy to find out anything about his service, ships he served on and where he may have sailed to. He did a number of voyages to the Far East, including Japan and he may have been to Korea during the Korean war, but that is only a possibility.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Please leave a message here
Thank you,
Neil Clayton

No need to post twice under different headings Neil, it only confuses matters and you may miss information, our boys will be there to help.
