Thank you for this information. Were there passenger lists for any of these ships, especially the Corfu?
Hi, unfortunately, we are not aware of any complete passenger lists for the ships.
My father was among RCAF members returning sometime soon after VE day. He travelled from Liverpool to Halifax. I sure would like to know the name of the ship and/or the dates, but strangely enough in these modern times, remarkably little of that history is available. Any help is deeply appreciated.
you missed out the RANCHI which arrived in Southampton on 24 November 1945 bringing my father from internment. in Sumatra.
