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