British Loyalty
I recently came into possession of a leather folder holding two packs of playing cards, ordinary in themselves, but among them is a hand printed whist score card. On the front of the card is a hand drawn B P house flag, the name British Loyalty the date is April 7th 1934. There are a number of names on the back of the card in pencil which are faded. I can make out the following,J,H.Johnson, H.E.Stewart, W.M.Hugh, J.Samson,S.Page, H.S.Bates, ?Kemp,M.Kent. On top of the card it says Arabian Whist, a game I've never heard of. I know this vessel was torpedoed twice during the war. I have sailed on the British Bulldog & British Commander 1960, British Kestral 1965.
