Ahoy - Mac's Web Log

From your link in the Ship's internet listing, I wonder if you have any information relating to the crew of the Vidette. I have down-loaded the more easily acquired data, but the crew appear to have escaped. My late
father (AB Charles -Taffy - Morgan) served on her during the dates above, mainly out of Gibraltar.

He also served on the HMS Lawford 1943-44 (Sunk on D-Day +1) and the HMS Philante 1944-45 (out of N.Ireland and Scotland), and I would like to be advised of any way you know of to communicate with surviving crew members.
