thanks for the info! as you are probably aware my father is deceased. he died in 1969. it was his mother that showed us the telegram, MISSING PRESUMED DEAD. that was 49 years ago! so any information is really great! thanks for all your help!! when he returned from service he had ringworm on both legs,i believe from being in the water for so long? the last date of discharge is 16/06/1940, Liverpool,but signature of master/officer date is 05/07/1940.
