Regarding Castleman's post #5
"Covers names ROSENBERG I to RYAN W
Covering dates 1944 Jan 01 - 1945 Dec 31"
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/c...lDetails=False
This links to BT 391 which are Combined Office Merchant Navy Operations, Seamen’s Pouches. These pouches pertain to the Normandy campaign only.
Regarding crew agreements held in Canada, bear in mind that just because a ship is not listed in their online catalogue doesn't necessarily mean the agreements are not there. Many have not yet been indexed.

Hello Hugh

Hi All
Thanks again for all the replies on this post. Unfortunately I have no further info about Charlie. I am checking about any tattoos he may have had but have had no reply as yet. I am at a major road block at the moment.
If I get any more info I'll share it.
Thanks
Mike
Hi Again
I have recently found out that Charlie was a crew member or passenger on
the MS Dunera (17 Feb 1949)
the Domingo de Larrinaga (11 Dec 1953)
Hope this helps
Hi,
There is a good little potted history of Turnbulls on this site, and the Baxtergates are mentioned, I used to sail with them but a little after your Granddads time.
