Merchant Navy 1940-45

[larry lester]

Hello
I am trying to get any info I can for Ron Hussey-Yeo.
Ron was in the British navy from 1940-1945 and served in the Merchant navy.
He served on the RANGATIKI,BTITISH TENNACITY and MONARCH OF BERMUDA(not sure if they were spelled this way).
Ron would like to know if any of his mates are still around.
Ron just turned 90 and is is poor health.
Any help would be appreciated.

If he is Merchant Navy I assume it would come under Hussey-Yeo, hyphenated surnames can be difficult, as he is down as a Deck Hand I suspect he is DEMS gunner, possibly come under RN
