Hi billyboats,

For a quick answer to the Holman question, go to :

http://www.naval-history.net/WW2Memo...Coxswain03.htm

and read from paragraph 10 onwards.

Regards

Chris

Thanks for showing us this. Read it all. A fitting tribute to the Merchant Navy. The story of Northern Gem should be essential reading.

No Problem,

For a complete look at things in that context, go to the homepage on the page I gave you. Wonderful historical reference work.
