Mr Richard Cowper

[Richard Cowper]

Information sought. Sadly my lovely Father has just died. He served on the Worcester Training Ship from 1939 to 1941 and then joined Shell as a cadet. He served with them throughout the war on tankers.
Unfortunately I do not know the name of his ships though I believe he was a cadet on the Corelia and later a second mate on a Rapana class tanker converted to carry aircraft. I believe he was sunk twice. However I would welcome any information about his service during the war. His great friend in Shell was Thomas Webster, later a Captain but his whereabouts unknown. My email is richard@richardcowper.com. My telephone number is 07767301222. I would be especially grateful for any information before his funeral this wednesday 2.30pm at St Cassian's church, Chaddesley Corbett, Worcs.

Initially, sad that your father has crossed the bar, can we take it that your dad is also Richard ?
