Thanking you for my acceptance
Hello all many thanks for letting me in i am looking to broaden my knowledge of the Merchant Navy and in particular my late grandfathers story.
I hope this is acceptable. Please excuse my spelling and grammer
I never new him and he died when my mother was only 7. She is now a frail lady and is talking about him daily, with no details of his service she just wants to know more.
I give thanks to all the brave souls who served and died in these tragic times.
Kind regards to you all.
Eric

All of those could help in finding out things about him for you and your mother.
