Hi Hazel
Recall on the list you gave me of his CRS10 (Think incomplete you gave me ) i have again just looked at it and cannot see him listed on a Ship called Delamar!?

So when was he on her again ??

And if you are going on a manhunt in the USA, may be of help>
But not sure if the Years will be of the same you may be lookng at ??

Hi again,

Delamar was the ship immediately preceding Wellandoc. According to verbal history, Dad arrived in Trinidad (date unknown) and did not want to go back to dep sea going boats because he "had been torpedoed 3 times". A guy called Ken Simpson managed to sign him on with US coast guard. Delamar had been damaged and went to Barbados late in 1942. There Dad met and married Mike's Mum.

Yesterday, for the first time it would appear that Dad's CRS10 is now available at TNA and so I have applied for a copy. Hopefully, within 6 weeks I should have a full copy of his CRS10.

As money allows, I want to get crew lists and relevant parts of log books for all Dad's ships

Wonder if this site would help in finding his Record whilst on the Ship Delamar.
See it says up to 1951 Service! But read all please Hazel, or perhaps you have been here before??
Cheers

Hi Doc,

I have not come across that website before. Thank you. I might have to do more digging first though as it was about the time he joined Delamar that he changed his name. Probably best to be as aaccurate as possible in my requst!

TNA are saying they do not have his CRS 10 "sigh". Now need to think outside the box - again!

On the upside, the log of the Empire Bairn has finally resurfaced after some 40 years of searching. something to do next month when the children's weddings are finally over.
