New member - hello
Hi,
My name is Nick Tucker and I have just joined. My main theme is researching and collecting medals to naval men and women with my own surname.
I have only a few to members of the Merchant Navy, but those are very interesting (2 x WW1, and 1 x WW2). Also I have a group to a RN DEMS gunner who served aboard merchant ships throughout WW2, from Iceland via the Atlantic, Mediterranean, India and Australia. He even served aboard two Norwegian vessels.
Here's to a long association with this forum.
Nick

Double up on Marian’s welcome Nick . The sick bay may be found among the jokes page if your lucky. The medals such as the VD and scar , most are very circumspect and like to keep them quite , but with a bit of coercion may come out with them. Although a few Friers on board can’t think of any Tucker’s. But you do have a few pseudymns who might have the police after them,so who knows. All will be hopefully revealed to you. Welcome to the nut house at times , many have been too long out of sight of land. Cheers JS.
