    Hi Nick.
    Do you have their discharge books? If so list their ships on here, maybe someone sailed with at least your grandfather.

    I do have my Uncles, he has Eisenhower's D Day letter I think he was there, but I am currently reviewing Grandads letters have some ships.

    Where should I start a thread?
