Ahoy - Mac's Web Log

May 4, 2013

Ahoy Mac!

I was browsing for "RICHARDSON, A.B. ALAN, C/JX. 353996" and was taken to your site: List of 455 Officers and sailors who were missing or killed when their three ships (Veteran, Boadicea, and Mourne) were sunk by German forces in WW2.

I found it most interesting, thank you.

However, I am writing to ask if you recognise the attachment?

By that, I mean the format, rather than the precise contact.

I must have come across this on the internet about six months ago but, for the life of me, I know not where. I have
similar ones for army relatives, two of which are in WW1 

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Regards, 
Bill Richardson
