Hello! Wondering if anybody may remember Ted/Edward Wilson on the Rangitane

[Elizabeth Davidson]

Hello everybody

I'm new here, thank you so much for this wonderful website!

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I wondered if anybody may perhaps remember Ted/Edward Wilson who was on the Kenya Castle in the late 1950s and the Rangitane from 1963? He was a steward and writer on these ships.

I know it's a long time ago, but if anybody has any memories they would be gratefully received by his daughter, Lin

Wishing you all well,

Elizabeth Davidson

Hello Elizabeth, Welcome to the site. Enter '' Rangitane'' in the advance search bar top right of this page you may find some there who served on her whilst you wait for replies.

Hello Elizabeth
A great pity that my late Uncle was not still with us, as he i am sure would have known the Person you mention, being on the Kenya Castle for a long time .
Have you got his Discharge Book at all? Just asking not that it would do much!
Also his CRS10 as that would give all his Sea Searvice .
Here is a Link to my Uncles Past Service!
Cheers

Ahhhh, thank you! I do have his CRS10, and some of his discharge papers. They aren't complete though.
