Thank you so much - do you know where I’m able to find a photo of my grandfather?
As said Andrea
That is going to be very hard as no recors were kept after 1972.
I have been looking at other options but have as yet not come up with anything as regards a Pic.
But who knows something or someone may yet come up with a Miracle LOL

Not too sure on the following but you can download his Records of the Royal Navy I think here ??
Cheers
Royal Navy ratings' service records 1853-1928 - The National Archives
He was Royal Navy so his service file from WWII will still be held by the MOD, but these records do not contain a photo. Nor do they list any other Merchant ships he served on, just the accountancy bases he was attached to such as HMS President III.
