Re:Dads Merchant Seaman Book Date Posted:03/09/2009 19:18 PMCopy HTML By the look of it dad worked as a Pantry boy on a trip to Montreal in Oct/November (they sailed that late in the season?) and received a 'Very Good' report.
At a guess I would say he changed his date of birth to 1901 to make his age nearly 18...In reality he was 16 when he applied in April 1919 What ship would he have been on? Although I seem to recall him talking about a 'pantry boy' I don't remember ever realising he was in the Navy! |

Looks to me like dad did a silver plate service while docked in between these two routes. |
