MV Clan MacDonald
Good Afternoon
I am the daughter of Robert P McLean/Maclean - 6/22/1921 Barrhead Scotland
I am writing from North Carolina and wanted to share some information. My father was diagnosed with smallpox on the Clan MacDonald in August 1942. Dennis Barrington was a wireless operator on the Clan MacDonald and was also diagnosed with smallpox in July 1942. I just received a file from the National Archives in Sydney Australia which shows how my dad got smallpox and the details surrounding his illness He was taken off the ship in Portsea (Melbourne) recovered and met his ship in Sydney for his voyage back home. If anyone knows or has any family that was on the Clan MacDonald from March '42 to September'42 please let me know.
Thank you - Cathy
