Notes: Just want to know if anyone knew of my grandad Kenneth Hall back when he was in the MN, I never got to see him and just looking for stories or info on when he was serving.
My grandma has told me stories that he use to fix the ship if it went over rocks in the sea and he use to weld and fix the breaches.
Also he had multiple certificates in:
•Certificate of attendance in merchant navy officers fire-fighting course (1968)
•certificate of attendance in merchant navy defence course (1966)
•certificate of efficiency as lifeboatman (1968)
•certificate in merchant ship steering (1966-1967) onboard the ‘Regent Falcon’
