Ship Crew for HMLST3011

[Stephen Harding]

Hi, I am researching my Grandad and know he was on the ship HMLST3011 in 1944 celebrating his 18th birthday, we have a picture of him on his birthday with shipmates, his name was John Caddick but some differences with his DOB 26th May 1924 or 1926,can anyone assist with any extra details, thanks

Thank you for the reply, we think he was born in Liverpool, he didn't die until 1972, it's all a bit vague other than the picture of him on this ship, his marriage certificate didn't have his father's name on so not 100% sure where he got his name from, hope that helps eliminate

The only other such name that was Born Liverpool but DOB 1946 so thats out as well.

Are you sure he was not perhaps in the Royal Navy??

I cannot see whats on that Document, can you enlighten at all>>
Cheers

[Stephen Harding]

That's the problem we have found nothing adds up with his name and DOB, that's the back of the photo and all that I can read is 1945 HMLST3011, all a mystery

[Doc Vernon]

This will be a hard one i feel, but just a quick Search i came across this , which seems to tell me that he was Royal Navy ? But this is just conjecture on my part!

So will keep looking and see if anything mat still come up.
Cheers
