Looking for my Grandfathers Record of Service

[Andrew S Lee]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to get hold of my Grandfathers Record of Service with Cunard.

His name is William John Lee born 15th November 1910 and served in the Merchant Navy from the 1930's until 1961

He served on the Atlantic Convoys and was torpedoed twice, i have all of medals that were awarded including his Atlantic Star

We know that he served on the Saxonia and the Corinthia.

How do I go about researching his records?? Where do I start??

Many thanks.

Hello Andrew
Your Grandfathers Seamans Pouch will be found here, this will hold basic details of him, you will need his CR10 or CRS10 i will see if i can find it later and post Link here!
You can apply for both if you wish but the CRS10 will hold all his sea time Searvice. Possbly he may have had other Cards!?
Will get back later
Cheers

Added If his Crs10 is available it should be in this Series. If applying please ask for his Record only and quote the Seamans Pouch Ref Number, plus any other info you may have
