Re: Highland Chieftain
Hi, I came home on the Highland Chieftain as a D.B.S.. I paid off sick from a tramp called the Admiral Codrington.
This was in 1954. Great ship to get me home. Was treated as a paying passenger. All the best to everyone. Frank.

I am working on this! When (if ever!) I fill the gaps I should like to write a biography from his time in Glasgow and his war years.
