Dear Shipbucketers!
Please forgive me if this is the wrong sub-forum for this request! I am at my wit's end.
I haven't posted here in around 4 years now and its wonderful to see all the incredible hard work you've been putting in!
This is a request for information. I'm writing a book about my grandfather and would love to know the name of the ship which carried him to war. He was in the Leicestershire Regiment and left Southampton on July 2 1944, arriving at Arromanches the next day. I cannot find the name of this ship anywhere, I recall stumbling across it once before but have since forgotten and cannot find the link!! (Imagine how maddening that is!) I think she was a converted liner.
Any information would be greatly, greatly appreciated! I thought this would be the perfect place to start since I do not know of another greater collection of ship nerds.
Regardless, I hope you are all well and I hope my old friends here are doing fine.
Kind regards,
Mike.
