It was a ling time ago when brothers Jack and Bob WALTON sailed the briny, mainly out of Tyneside.
Both died in the 1970's from leukemia, Jack was my uncle and spent a life time at sea,
my dad Bob first voyage was on the Blackhill in 1928, was invalided of the Empire Lightning
to Montreal in 1941, finally forced to come ashore in the 1940's.
Both were Firemen/Trimmers.
Doubt in any one will remember them, but both loved the sea and served their country well.
