Hi. I'm trying to find out the name of the merchant ship my father Raymond Sugden sailed on. He was with Manchester Liners and was in the merchant navy before the outbreak of WW2 and served throughout the war
Thank you

Hi. Yes I think that is him. Thank you so much for that. I still would like to find out the name of any ships he served on and any other details anybody out there might know. I will get all the info I can from Kew regarding his service record. Thanks again
