Thank you so much for the info........ hopefully with Dads paers we can tie him to the ships at certain times....... I remember him telling us that he had just returned from 2 weeks survivors leave before joining the Chitral at Liverpool and subsequently back home the next day for another 2 weeks survivors leave.
